    This document provides sizing specifications and calculations for a three phase horizontal separator. It specifies inlet gas and liquid flow rates and properties. Dimensions for the separator are then calculated including a diameter of 6 feet and length of 28 feet. Droplet sizes are calculated to be below thresholds for good separation. Weir heights are also specified to separate oil and water phases.

    The document discusses the sizing and design parameters for a three phase separator used in oil and gas processing.

    The steps discussed include selecting the diameter, length to diameter ratio, gas and liquid capacities, retention time calculations, droplet size calculations for different phases, and ensuring the design meets specified criteria.

    Parameters considered include flowrates of gas, oil and water, pressures, temperatures, viscosities, densities, oil to water ratio and correction factors.
