OTSO SplitFLOW - High Efficiency Horizontal Separator
OTSO’s SplitFLOW is the go-to option for applications where flow velocity reduction is of primary concern. The dual flow design splits inlet flow velocity in half, resulting in a dramatic reduction in flow velocity. The SplitFLOW separator is also the clear economical choice for these applications due to its unique ability to process high gas flow rates without increasing vessel size. The SplitFLOW Separator covers the full gamut of flow rate and gas/oil ratio conditions, but it is better suited when used as a High GOR (High Gas Oil Ratio) separator due to its capacity for processing high volumes of gas.
Inlet nozzle location is the key ingredient to the Horizontal SplitFLOW Separator. Unlike typical arrangements that have the inlet and outlet on opposite ends of the separator, the inlet on the Horizontal SplitFLOW Separator is located in the center of the vessel.
OTSO PureSEP™ internals can be added to ensure safe, continuous and reliable operation, while meeting production requirements for volume, gravity, pressure, foaming, paraffin, hydrates, impurities, corrosion, and other production parameters.
Inlet momentum is regulated by two Maelstrom Revolution™ devices due to its superior performance in comparison to traditional splash plate and dished head type inlet momentum control devices. In consideration for the Horizontal SplitFLOW Separators split flow design, the inlet device is designed to evenly split and direct flow to each Maelstrom Revolution™.
As is the case with inlet momentum control, demisting must accommodate dual flow as well. Top mounted gas outlets are located on each side of the vessel, while bottom mounted liquid outlets are mounted on both sides of the vessel for each half of the flow. External gas and liquid outlet piping is used to link the separated gas and liquids into their respective flowlines.
OTSO’s PureSEP™ line of separator internals provide numerous options for demisting, such as serpentine vanes, wire mesh and coalescing ball media. Our team can offer assistance for your specific application to ensure proper demisting configuration.
Although capable of handling all conditions of a typical Horizontal Separator, the SplitFLOW Separator is the go to option for large, high pressure applications where flow velocity reduction is of concern. This vessel is uniquely suited for high gas flow rates due to its ability to process high flow rates without increasing vessel size. As a result, the Horizontal SplitFLOW Separator is the clear economical choice for such applications.
