Liquid-Vapour Separator
Vapor Liquid separators are one of the most common types of process equipment. This article provides step-by-step procedure
for two phase vertical vapor liquid separator design. Vapor liquid separation occurs in three stages.
1. The first stage, primary separation uses an inlet diverter so that momentum of the liquid entrained in the vapor
causes the largest droplets to impinge on the diverter and then drop by gravity.
2. The next phase, secondary separation is gravity separation of smaller droplets as the vapor flows through the
disengagement area.
3. The final stage is mist elimination where the smallest droplets are formed which will separate by gravity.
