Calculation

1. The document provides operating conditions and parameters for a separation process including operating pressure, temperatures, mass and volumetric flows of vapor, light liquid, and heavy liquid. 2. Dimensions and specifications are given for the separator vessel including diameter, length, weir height and location. Hold up times and surge times are also specified. 3. Calculations are shown for volumetric flow rates, terminal velocities, cross-sectional areas, retention times within the separator, and filled volumes at different liquid levels.
