I.PURPOSE
The aim of the separator sizing spreadsheet is to assist

the designer in saving valuable time resources by providing a
user-friendly spreadsheet in Excel to calculate sizing
parameters for both horizontal and vertical separators.
II.DESIGN BASES
A. Gas residence times are calculated using the normal liquid level
as the basis. In the case of the horizontal separator
with weirplate partition, the basis used is the height of
the weir for the gas volume. Dished end volumes have
been neglected for the gas residence time calculations.
B. K-values to be used as input data for the spreadsheets
are found in the GPSA Handbook(10thedition), figure 7.9 on page 7-7.
The K factors must be converted to m/s to be placed into
the spreadsheet. The purpose of the K-factor is for
designs which include woven wire demisters. Demisters
(mist extractors) can significantly reduce the required
diameter of vertical separators.
C. Dished-end volume calculations have been included for
both vertical and horizontal separators. For the
vertical separator, an option is provided for choosing
between semi-ellipsoidal and semi-hemispherical ends,
however, for all horizontal separators, the ends have
been assumed to be semi-ellipsoidal.
(Reference: GPSA Handbook section 6 Fig 6.21-6.22)
D. Other standards used in calculations include
API RP 521 Section 5.4.2 and calculations for the
standpipe were from EXXON Criteria in Design Practice 5B
(September 1978).
III.METHOD
The following procedure is a step-by step outline for the
designer.
A. Step One: Choose the type of separator required.
The separators available in this spreadsheet include:
-Horizontal, 3 Phase, with boot
-Horizontal, 3 Phase, no boot, weirplate
partition.
-Horizontal, 3 Phase, no boot, standpipe
for condensate.
-Horizontal, 2 Phase
-Vertical, 2 Phase
Page 1 of 3
SEPARATOR SIZING SPREADSHEET - INSTRUCTION NOTES
Vertical separators are usually selected when the gasliquid ratio is high or total gas volumes are low.
Horizontal separators are most efficient where large
volumes of total fluids and large amounts of dissolved
gas are present with the liquid. For more information on
separators please refer to GPSA Handbook, Section 7.
B. Step Two: After the separator type is chosen, begin
inputting data into the cells of the spreadsheet which
have blue italicised text. Do not write in cells which
contain red or black text! Input data is summarised in
the top left hand side of the spreadsheet. Feed
flowrates, properties and nozzle velocity specifications
are entered in this section. Data on vessel
length, diameter and liquid levels are entered on the
vessel sketch. Unknown values need to be assumed,
otherwise errors will occur in the results.
C. Step Three: When all blue cells are filled - including the
dimensions on the sketch, the spreadsheet will calculate
all relevant values. The intermediate calculations can
be found below the sketch. Final output results are
listed on the sketch and in the top section of the
spreadsheet. All formulae are in red text.
D. Step Four: Before final outputs can be used, warnings
must be considered. Warnings appear in bold green text,
and will appear as "OK" when there is no warning present.
If a warning does exist, try to change the relevant
parameters to remove or reduce the warnings. These
generally relate to liquid levels in the separator and gas
residence times.
E. Step Five: Check your units!!! The units defined on the
spreadsheets can be found in the nomenclature section.
The notes section may also assist with understanding
which units to use. You can change the values in the
blue cells as many times as you like.
F. Step Six: When you have your final output, SAVE your
file by choosing the "SAVE AS" option under the "FILE"
menu in Excel . Make sure that you use a different file
name to the original master copy. (this will safeguard
against deletion of the master copy)
G. Step Seven: Your work is now ready to PRINT. You may
find that Excel does not have enough memory to display
the spreadsheet fully. The print range has been setup for
A4 landscape paper and will print only the first 2-3 pages of
the spreadsheet (the rest of the spreadsheet consists of
intermediate calculations). If you find that the spreadsheet
will not fit on the paper, choose "PAGE SETUP" from the
"FILE" menu in Excel and reduce the size of the sheet.

SEPARATOR SIZING SPREADSHEET - INSTRUCTION NOTES
Another option available is to choose A3 sized paper

(page setup menu) to print out your spreadsheet. It is
not recommended that the print area be altered as this
has been preset. However, if the print area needs to be
altered, please use the following procedure.

IV. ADDITIONAL NOTES
A.
THE CALCULATION TITLE BLOCK
There is a title block at the bottom of each page

of the spreadsheet.
Spaces have been
provided for entering the calculation title, project
number and calculation number. These spaces are accessed
by moving the mouse pointer into the particular box and
clicking once with the left hand mouse button. At this
point, an object box will appear. Simply click inside
the box once using the left hand mouse button and enter
the data in the normal way. When you have finished
typing the information, move the mouse pointer to another
part of the spreadsheet and click once with the left hand
mouse button.
NOTE: While space has been provided on the title block
for entering the originators and checkers initials and
relevant dates, these spaces cannot be accessed by the
user. This is because signatures are required to be
hand written by the originator and checker.
B. MAIN MENU
The main menu on the separator sizing spreadsheet
allows the user to access any of the sheets in the
workbook through the use of a macro button. Once the
designer is in a particular worksheet, they can return to
the menu by clicking the "MENU" macro button in
the individual worksheet.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Spreadsheet Conventions & Format
Input
Data to be entered by the user is shown on the screen in blue italicised type.
When printed the input appears in italics only.
Input data is summarised at the top left hand side of the spreadsheet. Feed
flowrates, properties and nozzle velocity specifications are entered in this section.
Information on vessel length, diameter and liquid levels is entered on the vessel sketch
described below.
Output
Cells containing formulae are shown in red text.

Cells containing formulae have been protected.
Final output data refers specifically to gas, oil and water residence times and oil and water
droplet settling times. This data is summarised at the top centre of the spreadsheet.
Data on calculated nozzle sizes and other vessel specific dimensions are shown on the
vessel sketch.
Warnings
Warning messages will appear to the right of the output data summary to indicate when
results fall outside the design criteria described in the KRJB procedure. Where results
satisfy the design requirements the message 'OK' will appear in the WARNINGS section.
Warning messages may also appear on the vessel sketch, however in this case there
will be no message if the input/output data meets the design requirements.
Messages are shown on the screen in bold green type. When printed, the messages
appear in bold type and will be enclosed in double asterisks.

LLSD height calculation is based on the distance between the bottom of the cylinder and the low level shut down for the oil.
LILSD height calculation is based on the distance from the base of the boot dished end to the low interface level shut down for the water.
4.
Information for partial volumes and dished ends was from GPSA handbook (10th edition) Section 6, and in particular, fig.6-21.6-22.
Calculations for gas residence time and area/volume calculations use the normal liquid level, NLL as the height basis. End volumes is ignored for gas volume calculations.

Maximum allowable vapour velocity is calculated from the equation in GPSA Handbook, Volume 1, Section 7:
VMAX
K [ (l - l) / l ] 0.5
3.
Settling times for water and oil are based on the normal interface level (NIL).
4.
Information for partial volumes and dished ends was from GPSA handbook Section 6, and in particular, fig. 6-21,6-22.
5.
Calculations for gas residence time and area/volume calculations use the NLL height as the height basis. End volumes ignored for gas volume calculations.

VMAX
K [ (L - V) / V ] 0.5
2. 150 mm minimum.
3. Space for instrument nozzles and/or emergency liquid capacity - minimum 150 mm.
4. 60% of vessel diameter or 750mm whichever is greater.
5. twice inlet nozzle diameter.
6 . Semi-ellipsoidal end-volume is calculated using the formula V = (x (ID)3 )/24 which applies to one end only of the separator (ie. the bottom).
Hemispherical end-volume for one dished end is calculated using the formula: V = (P x (ID) 3 )/12
