Three phase separator
Three phase separator is a kind of device who can separate oil, gas and water by their own specific gravity and measure volume from well for each phase during whole well testing job that can be operated onshore or offshore. So gas outlet is normally set on top three phase separator. And oil & water outlet is set on bottom. Measuring equipment like fluid meters and gas meters is installed on oil, water and gas outlet.
As Three phase separator vessel is pressure vessel, there is safety valve and rupture disck on top of vessel to protect equipment. Two safety valves setting is another option. Three phase separator vessel is made according to ASME VIII and U mark is stamped on nameplate.
Oil and water interface level should be controlled, so control valve is also used on Three phase separator.
Normally Three phase separator is work for one well during one well testing job. but sometimes it also used to test several wells which connect togother. Potable Three phase separator is better for well testing team.
