SIM 1121 Gas Separator with Level Control model shows a multiphase multicomponent feed stream being passed through a water cooled shell and tube heat exchanger.
The model is designed to introduce students to vapour/liquid equilibrium and control room operations while enhancing their problem solving skills.
The fluid is passed to a horizontal separation vessel where the gas and liquid phases are separated.
The temperature of the stream leaving the heat exchanger is used to control the flow rate of cooling water.
The level of liquid in the separator vessel is controlled by varying the exit flow of liquid.
The pressure in the separation vessel is controlled by varying the exit flow of gas.
By modifying the inlet temperature and separator vessel pressure the gas/liquid split can be altered. The model work book contains a self scoring exercise to optimise the gas liquid split.
