Definitions
- An apparatus for separation of a fluid flow especially into a gas phase and a liquid phase
- the invention relates to an apparatus for separation of a fluid flow flowing through a pipeline into a light fraction and a heavier fraction, in which the fluid flow is set into rotation so that it is separated into a central zone essentially containing the light fraction, and an outer annular zone essentially containing the heavier fraction, and from which the fluid in the central zone and the fluid in the outer zone are discharged via respective outlet means.
- the produced fluids are often transported in relatively long pipelines and risers up from the sea bed to the relevant production platform.
- the produced fluid usually consists of liquid (oil and water) in which gas is dissolved. Since the pressure in the underground source is higher than in the pipeline, and in addition decreases upwards in the pipeline, an increasing gas bubble formation and thereby two-phase flow arises in the pipeline. This implies a pulsatory flow (so-called slugging) which in many cases causes serious vibrations in the pipeline.
- an axial spin element 5 to set the two-phase mixture into rotation by rotation of the element, for achieving the desired separation of the two-phase mixture into a gas/vapour core "g" in a central zone 6 in the casing 2, and liquid "1" in an annular outer zone 7 at the inner surface of the casing.
- the spin element comprises a core body 8 on which there are mounted a number of axially curved guide blades 9. The number of blades, and the configuration thereof with respect to length and angle, will be adapted to the topical application.
- Upstream of the spin element 5 there is arranged a cylindrical guide body
- the guide body 10 which is designed to guide the supplied fluid in an annular axial flow towards the spin element.
- the guide body 10 is supported centrally in the casing 2 by means of a supporting means 1 1.
- the guide body and the supporting means preferably are aerodynamically shaped.
- a discharge element 12 Centrally in the casing 2 there is arranged a discharge element 12 in the form of a hollow body which is provided with one or more entrance openings 13 for the discharge of gas and possibly entrained liquid from the central zone 6 and out of the degasser part.
- the gas G is conducted via an outlet pipe 14 communicating with the discharge element 12 and being carried laterally through the casing 2.
- the reflector element 15 consists of a cylindrical core body which, in the illustrated embodiment, has a planar surface which is directed towards the central gas zone.
- the reflector element may be designed in other ways, for example as a plug or cone tapering in the upstream direction.
- an anti-spin element 16 Downstream of the reflector element 15, and at a distance upstream of the outlet part 4 of the casing, there is arranged an anti-spin element 16 to bring the rotating liquid phase flow back to an axially directed flow towards the outlet part 4.
- the anti-spin element comprises a core body 17 on which there are mounted a number of partly curved guide blades 18 which are directed axially along the casing at their outlet end. At their radially outer edges, the blades 18 are fixed to the inside of the casing, so that the element 16 is stably supported in the casing, and thereby forms a support for the discharge pipe 12 and the reflector element 15.
- the discharge pipe 12 extends through the reflector element 15 and the core body 17, and further the pipe at its upstream end is supportingly connected to a transfer cone 19 connected to the core body 8 of the spin element 5.
- a transfer cone 20 is also arranged at the downstream side of the anti-spin element 16, as a preferably streamlined transition between the anti-spin element and the axial part of the outlet pipe 14.
- a flow restriction 21 for creating a pressure drop downstream of the restriction.
- the purpose of this pressure drop is to be further mentioned below, in connection with the control separator of the apparatus.
- the separated gas/vapour possibly together with some entrained liquid, especially under unstable conditions, is drained off via the discharge element 12, whereas the liquid phase passes the reflector element 15 in a rotating annular flow and is brought back to axial flow in the anti-spin element 16.
- the reflector element will also take part in controlling pressure recovery upstream of the anti-spin element. As regards the anti-spin element, this may possibly be omitted. However, this results in that the spin is not abolished, and also in a poorer pressure recovery.
- FIG. 2 An embodiment of the control separator of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 2.
- the control separator has two functions, viz. to secondarily separate liquid from the gas phase coming from the degasser part 1 , and to control the working point of the degasser part, and then in co-operation with the control system, as further described below.
- Fig. 2 shows a control separator 25 comprising an outer shell in the form of a vertically oriented, cylindrical container 26 which, at its lower end, is connected to the outlet pipe 14 of the degasser via a suitable transition member 27, and which has an outlet 28 for gas at its upper end.
- the mounting of the control separator typically will be vertical, independent of vertical or horizontal version of the degasser part itself.
- control separator With a horizontally oriented degasser, the control separator will be built together with the degasser as a large T-piece. With a vertical degasser, the control separator typically will be mounted next to the degasser proper, or internally integrated in the degasser itself.
- the outer shell of the control separator preferably has a circular cross- section, as shown, but may possibly have another shape.
- the shell suitably may have the same diameter as the degasser casing 2, since this implies that the degasser casing and the control separator can be executed as a T-piece having similar pipe diameters, where the shell is mounted directly on the degasser casing, without an intermediate transfer member.
- the length/height and diameter of the separator will depend on the dimensions of the internal components of the separator, the dwell time for liquid in the separator, limitations on maximum gas velocity and the ability to cope with dynamic level fluctuations.
- the inlet pipe 25 is connected at its lower end to the outlet pipe 14 from the degasser part, and extends a distance upwards within the container 26.
- the inlet pipe is coupled to a typical inlet element 30 functioning as a moment switch reducing the velocity, the momentum and the inlet impulse of the supplied feed flow (gas and liquid). The energy of the feed flow thereby is reduced in such a manner that separation of liquid from the gas phase is optimised, and so that the liquid in addition is prevented from splashing directly towards the gas outlet 28.
- the inlet element 30 may be of a conventional design which will be known to a person skilled in the art, and which is therefore not further described.
- Liquid which is separated in the container 26, in all essentials is separated gravimetrically, and collects in the lower part of the container.
- the liquid in Fig. 2 is shown to have a level 31.
- the container is shown to be provided with a pair of connecting pieces 32 for level measurement.
- the level may be measured by means of e.g. differential pressure measurement or another measuring principle, by using an external vertical measuring pipe or standpipe (not shown).
- there may be used other level measuring principles which do not need connecting piece connections for example inductive, acoustic or radioactive methods.
- a coalescer and gas outlet means 33 having the task to separate the smallest liquid droplets from the gas flowing towards the outlet 28, and which will also contribute to preventing liquid from splashing directly towards the outlet.
- This means for example may consist of standard pallet rings, wire mesh or cyclones.
- a drainage pipe 34 to conduct separated liquid from the coalescer into the liquid phase of the control separator.
- the illustrated coalescer/gas outlet means 33 does not need to be provided in order to make the control separator function, but is preferable in order to obtain optimum separator efficiency.
- the container 26 at its lower end (possibly at the bottom) is provided with an outlet connecting piece 35 for drainage of the liquid to a suitable place.
- a liquid outlet means 36 which mainly has the function to create optimum drainage properties, among other things by preventing turbulent flow towards the outlet 35.
- the control separator will function also without such a means.
- the liquid outlet 35 in the illustrated embodiment is coupled to a drainage line 37 connected to the outlet part 34 of the degasser part 1 at the downstream side of the constriction 21, the constriction producing a sufficient pressure drop to drain liquid from the control separator to the outlet part 4.
- a regulating valve 38 which may be controlled via a manual control unit 39 for adjustment of a suitable desired drainage velocity, as further mentioned below in connection with the control system of the apparatus.
- a valve 40 having an operating unit 41 for adjustment of the delivered or discharged gas quantity from the separator 25.
- control separator 25 controls the working point of the degasser part in co-operation with the control system of the apparatus. This takes place in that said working point is controlled by means of an indirect method, by means of level measurement.
- control system comprises in substance a level transmitter 42 which is connected to the connecting pieces 32 and which indicates the level of separated liquid in the container 26, and a level control unit 43 which is connected to the level transmitter 42 and to the operating unit 41 of the valve 40, and which controls the level of liquid in the container in co-operation with the drain valve 40.
- the optimum working point for the degasser part will be when the liquid is approximately free of gas in the outlet part 4 of the degasser, and the gas is approximately free of liquid in the outlet pipe 14. At this working point, entrained liquid in the gas phase will increase considerably if one tries to extract more gas. Maintenance of this working point requires an efficient confrol system.
- the confrol separator together with the illustrated control system will allow a given maximum quantity of liquid in the gas phase from the degasser part, and will see to it that this small liquid portion is separated from the gas before it is let out of the separator. By means of this method one will in fact obtain two approximately clean phases of gas and liquid.
- the drainage velocity for liquid from the control separator is adjusted or set by means of the regulating valve 38.
- the drainage velocity implicitly will correspond to the allowed quantity of liquid entrained in the gas phase from the degasser part.
- the drainage velocity may be controlled by means of the manual control unit 39.
- a more sophisticated manner will be to let the opening of the valve be a function of gas or liquid load.
- the drainage quantity will increase with increasing load if, for example, one requires a constant liquid fraction in the gas quantity from the degasser. It is then natural that allowed drainage quantity is increased to the same degree.
- a downsfream quantity measurement of either the liquid or gas will, by way of a given function, be able to give the correct valve opening.
- the level transmitter 42 which measures the liquid level in the container 26, should be quick and have a rapid updating because of the quick dynamic response of the degasser part.
- the level transmitter delivers a signal to the level control unit 43 which controls the level by means of the drain valve 40.
- the entrained liquid quantity in the gas phase from the degasser will be constant and equal to the maximally allowed, entrained liquid quantity given by the regulating valve 38.
