Design and Analysis for Partition Plate of Gravity Oil-Water Separator

Article Preview

Abstract:

The internal structure and the working principle of gravity oil-water separator used for self-circulation well-flushing equipment were given. Based on CFD, the flow field was calculated and analyzed with partition plate settings. The influences on separation efficiency were analyzed, according to velocity vector diagrams and oil drop trajectory diagrams. The results show that the location of the primary partition plate is installed more reasonable, the efficiency of separation is more advantage. Also, the structure and size of the primary partition plate and the size of the auxiliary partition plate can influence the efficiency of oil-water separation regularly.
