SIM 4110 Separation Train

Model Description

Shows how crude oil feedstock’s are initially separated into separate gas and liquid streams.

The model contains 5 crude oil wells, test separator, High Pressure, Medium Pressure three phase separators and a Low Pressure booted three phase separator.

A fully functional Emergency shutdown system, with Blow down, Pressure Relief, full Process shutdown, Red and Yellow Shutdown capabilities

The process can be fully stopped and started showing how the system responds to changes well beyond normal operating conditions.

Full composition analysis for each stream on the plant.

Learning Areas
