    API Sizing KIM - XLSM

    Uploaded by

    alvinchuan
    This document provides calculations for an API separator based on user input values for design flow rate, temperature, oil specific gravity, oil droplet size, water density, and viscosity. The results include dimensions for the width, depth, and length of the separator that satisfy requirements such as terminal velocity, cross-sectional area, horizontal velocity, and length to width ratio. The document recommends adjusting the width and depth of the channel to achieve a horizontal velocity of less than or equal to 3 feet per minute.

    API Separator Calculations

    USER INPUT IN YELLOW


    Design Flow rate (in gpm) 65
    Temperature (in deg F) 150 An "oil droplet size" of 150
    Specific Gravity of the Oil (in g/cm3) 0.85 is typically the norm for API
    Oil Droplet size (in microns) 150 separators. Do not change
    Density of the Water (in g/cm3) 0.98022 this value unless you have
    Viscosity (in Poise) 0.00439 a specific need. The
    minimum useable value is
    60

    Depth of separator in feet 2.00 610
    Length of separator in feet 10.63 3240

    Depth (in feet) 0.30 2.00 10.00
    Depth/Width Ratio (must be .3 to .5) 0.30 1.33 0.50

    Step 1:
    Adjust the width and depth of the chanel until you
    achieve a horizontal velocity <=3. Ideal horizontal
    velocity should be in the <=2 range at average flow.
    Make sure that you maintain a depth/width ratio of .3 to
    .5
