Separator of hydrocarbon-water-vapor mixture – a pressure vessel used for separating drilling fluids from the oil wells on separate ingredients: vapor, water and oil. Manufactured according to “Offshore standard: DNV-OS-D101 - Marine and Machinery Systems and Equipment”.
Separator is equipped with manhole, baffles, connections and laser and magnetostrictive level sensor.
Level sensor was used for the high-accuracy, continuous level measurement of liquids, based on determining the position of a magnetic float according to the magnetostrictive measuring principle.
Separator was designed for working temperature in range between -7oC and 170oC, and because of it’s localization on upper deck of Martin Linge FSI it has been isolated and protected with shell made of steel plate.
