| Abstract | The hydrodynamics of multiphase flow in Liquid-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (LLCC1) and Gas-Liquid-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone (GLLCC2) compact separators have been studied experimentally and theoretically for evaluation of their performance as free water knockout devices. In both GLLCC and the LLCC configurations, no complete oil-water separation occurs. Rather, both separators perform as free water knockouts, delivering a clean water stream and an oil rich stream. A new state-of-the-art, two-inch, three-phase, fully instrumented flow loop has been designed and constructed. Experimental data on oil-water separation efficiency in the LLCC and the GLLCC have been acquired. A total of 260 runs have been conducted for the LLCC for water-dominated flow conditions. Four different flow patterns in the inlet have been identified, namely, |
