Vessel Internals
Inlet Diverter
Function ~ disengage the gas and liquid .
Types - baffle plates
can be a spherical dish, flat plate, angle iron, cone
Inlet Diverter
Function ~ disengage the gas and liquid .
Types - centrifugal diverters
Wave Breakers
Function ~ dampen any wave action that caused by incoming fluids
Vertical baffles
Place perpendicular to the flow
In liquid collection section
Install in long horizontal vessel
Why eliminate wave?
Liquid control problem
Reduce separation
Wave Breakers
Defoaming Plates
Function ~ to aid in coalescence of the foam bubbles.
Inclined parallel plates or tubes to promote coalescence, or merging, of
the foam bubbles liberated from the liquid.
Defoaming Plates
Vortex Breaker
Vortex- a whirling mass of fluid or air, especially a whirlpool or whirlwind
A vortex breaker is a device used in engineering to stop the formation of
a vortex when a fluid (liquid or gas) is drained from a vessel
The formation of vortices can entrain vapor in the liquid stream, leading
to poor separation in process steps such as distillation or excessive
pressure drop or causing cavitation of downstream pumps
Some use radial vanes or baffles around the liquid exit
Vortex Breaker
Mist Extractor
Function ~ to remove liquids mist from gas stream
Made of wire mesh, vanes, centrifugal forces devices
Liquid droplets impinge on the matted wires and coalesce
Effectiveness of wire mesh depends largely on the gas velocity.
High ~the liquids knocked out will be re-entrained.
Mist Extractor
Mist Extractor
Mist Extractor
Coalescing Plates
Specific for oil/water separation
Function~ increase size of water droplets in oil phase.
Make gravity settling easier
Problem face ~ plugging with solids particles
