DAC Worldwide's Vertical Separator Training System Plus (295-101-PAC) is a realistic working demonstration separation system duplicates the process at a reduced scale using alternate production stream components: refined oil, air, and water. Three-phase separators, both vertical and horizontal, perform a fundamental purpose in oilfield production operations. Using very basic physical principles of gravity separation, the device efficiently separates mixed raw oil and gas production streams into their component parts: crude oil, gas, and water.

The system includes on-board supply pumps and a regenerative blower, delivering the emulated stream components to a static mixer, in order to create a emulated combined feed stream to the separator.

Vertical Separator Training System Plus Offers Real-World, Hands-On Industrial Learning

A custom-fabricated, large-diameter, clear acrylic, vertical separator vessel is provided with accurately-depicted internal features such as: an inlet diverter, overflow weir, mist eliminator, and strategically-located and reinforced outlet connections. Primary internal components are designed to be removable and modifiable using optional or user-supplied alternate components of varying geometries.

Metered supply valving and onboard variable area flowmeters allow for manual control and measurement of supply flow rates, simulating different supply variations and their effects on process efficiency.

The entire system is mounted on a mobile, formed-steel & powder coated support frame assembly, which can easily be moved from classroom to laboratory, and can pass through standard door openings.

All primary controls and active components are mounted on the front panel face. Both feedstock reservoirs and their related supply pumps are mounted on the rear of the device.

This unique, modifiable, demonstration system realistically demonstrates this fundamental oil & gas production process to both operations and maintenance personnel. Control and measurement features also allow for the mathematical study of a reduced-scale working system, under varying conditions.
