Exxon Design Practices. Drums. Vapor-Liquid Separators

Exxon Engineering, 1981.The document covers the design of vapor-liquid separators drums, including internals (anti-vortex baffles and crinkled wire screens) and special design considerations. Information is also given on the influence of the flow characteristics in the inlet piping on separator drum performance. Finally, it contains desing criteria to prevent or minimize entrainment at the liquid surface in the drum
