Gas liquid Separator Sizing Using GPSA (11ed)

A gas liquid separator is used for bulk separation and mist eliminator i.e. vane type, mesh type, cyclone type) are used to promote liquid drop coalescence and separation from gas. Souder-Brown equation has been widely used in Oil and gas industry to size a gas liquid separator with and without mist eliminator.



where

ρl = Liquid density, kg/m3 (or lb/ft3)
ρg = Vapor density, kg/m3 (or lb/ft3)

Generally the K factor as proposed in GPSA 11ed has been used by many engineers. Following figure tabulate the K factor may be used for horizontal, vertical, vertical scrubber and others separator for special services.
