1.2. Determination of column diameter (valve trays)

This calculation can be done by using the program BALTRAY (Technip, in house), G-RATE
(Glitsch) or manually (a calculation sheet based on Glitsch's Ballast Tray method is attached in
GE P312 – Book 4.1.1 – Chapter II – English version).

Where vapour and liquid rates vary significantly across the column height, a diameter
calculation should be done for each zone, generally for the tray where the V load is maximum.

Where the column diameter is less than 1m, check whether packing is a more economical
solution than trays.

For other types of trays, the FRI methods shall be used. The diameter resulting from the use of
sieve trays is usually close to the diameter obtained with valve trays.

1.2.1. Tray spacing

A 300 mm tray spacing is generally not used.

450 mm spacing can be used up to a maximum diameter of 2 m for standard columns and above
2 m for superfractionator columns.

Tray spacings of 600 mm and above can be used with no diameter limitation.

1.2.2. Number of passes

The number of passes is chosen in order to minimise the column diameter, taking into account
that a multipass tray is more expensive than a single pass tray. Avoid the use of more than
2 passes, except for very high liquid rates (e.g. circulating reflux zones). Multipass trays have a
lower efficiency than single pass trays which should be taken into account (particularly for
superfractionation).

For construction and installation reasons, in particular access through manholes, it is not
possible to use multipasses trays below certain diameters. The following minimum values
should generally be followed :

2 pass trays Diameter > 1400 - 1500


4 pass trays Diameter > 2800

Do not use 3 pass trays.

Subscript L is used for the dispersed liquid phase.

Subscript g is used for the continuous gas phase.

2.2.2. Vapour velocity

The allowable gas velocity depends on the service and whether a wire-mesh demister or other
separation enhancing device is used. Allowable gas velocity is expressed as a percentage of the
critical velocity. This percentage varies in most cases from 80 to 220% of the critical velocity
(See Table 1 for the K values).

Vvap = maximum allowable vapour velocity (m / s)

2.2.3. Liquid residence time

The liquid residence time is determined based on considerations of process control and safety.

Between HLL and LLL

The following residence times may be reduced if an advanced process control scheme is used, in
particular a feed forward type.

a. Reflux drum

♦ Liquid distillate directly feeding a column requiring a constant feed

The greater of the two following values :

§ 5 min of the reflux flowrate


§ 15 min based on the product rate (without control by LC).

♦ Liquid distillate going to storage

The greater of the two following values :

§ 5 min of the reflux flowrate


§ 2 min based on the product rate.

♦ Gaseous distillate only

5 min of the reflux flowrate.

b. Product going to a furnace

8 to 10 min.

c. Pumped product (pump suction drum)

5 min.

d. Non pumped product

3 to 5 min (depending on process control requirements)

e. Steam drum

The greater of the two following values :

§ 1/3 of the volume of the boiler and pipework


§ 2 min of the feed water flowrate.

2.2.4. Vertical vessel

The horizontal cross-sectional area of the drum is used for the vapour velocity calculation.

General rules to be followed when determining vertical vessel dimensions are given in Figure 1.

For wire mesh demisters : where the vessel diameter is not fixed by the vapour velocity, the
active cross sectional area of the mesh can be reduced so that the velocity through the mesh is
between 170 to 220% of the critical velocity.

If the consequential mesh diameter is less than half of the vessel diameter a horizontal vessel
would be probably more economical.

This method is not adequate for the sizing of drums operating at high pressure (> 30 bar) at high
throughput and when an efficient L/V separation is expected (critical drums).

These separators are characterised by :

§ Hemispherical bottoms
§ A vane type feed distributor
§ A heavy duty mesh pad
§ The use of specific sizing rules validated through systematic CFD studies.

(Refer to the Report 2082 N – CFD simulation of liquid–vapour separation drums -


Conclusions and recommendations).

An economic length (T/T) to diameter ratio is generally in the range of 2 to 4 and depends on

a. Sizing without a mesh pad


§ Choose a diameter D 0 and a length L0 (m)
§ Fix the liquid level (see 2.2.3. and Figure 2)
§ Calculate the liquid area A L
§ Calculate the vapour area AV with :
Qv
Av =
KVc

Vc = Critical velocity in m / s
K = % Vc allowed (given in Table 1)
Qv = Vapour flowrate in m3 / s

§ Recalculate the diameter D1 and the length L1


§ Iterate until convergence is reached.

Check the decanting length

The allowable vapour velocity Vt is determined by using Newton's formula to choose a


droplet diameter like it is done for a vertical vessel (Table 1).
Using the height of the vapour space, hv (m) :

§ Calculate the separation time in seconds :


h
θ= v
Vt
§ Determine L'min, the minimum distance between the inlet and outlet gas nozzles :
L’min = Vvi θ (m)
Vvi = true horizontal gas velocity (m / s).

b. Sizing with a mesh pad


The cross sectional area of the mesh will be estimated in the same way as for a vertical
vessel (gas velocity through the mesh between 80% and 220% of critical velocity).
The minimum values for h1 , h2 , h3 have to be respected (see Figure 2) and correspond to hv
min.
§ Choose a diameter D 0 and a length L0
§ Calculate the liquid area A L
§ Calculate the vapour area AV based on hv
§ Recalculate the diameter D
§ Convergence is obtained when D - Di is small.
Check that gas velocity Vg < KVc

High gas flowrates


To reduce the vessel diameter, a central inlet nozzle and two outlet nozzles, one equipped
with a mesh at each end of the drum can be used. The cross sectional area of each mesh will
be calculated with half the gas flow rate and the vapour area will be divided by two.

§ Calculate the settling velocity in each phase with the formulae from paragraph 2.1.

§ Estimate the diameter :

D = 0.664 (m)
Vc Qc + Vd Q d

c : Light phase reference


d : Heavy phase reference
Q : Flowrate in m3 / s
V : Decanting velocity in m / s

§ Choose a value for L / D and determine L in m,


§ Determine the approximate height of each phase imposing a minimum 300 mm to allow for
the installation of level instruments.

2.4. Three phase separation

Three phase separator sizing is done by calculating the vapour area as for a liquid-vapour
separation and the liquid area as for a liquid-liquid separation. However this method is not
applicable for production separators (crude oil separators) because in this case the liquid-liquid
separation is based only on residence times which are generally taken between 3 and 5 minutes.

If the heavy phase flowrate is low, a boot may be used. Its diameter must be less than 1/3 of the
vessel diameter unless special agreement with the pressure vessel department (mechanical).

2.5. Other types of separators

Sizing will be done by vendors.

2.5.1. Vane pack separators

Contact vendors. Check the pressure drop required by this type of device.

2.5.2. Cyclone type separators

Contact vendors.
