| 總結: | The increasing need for crude oil makes the extraction of crude oil from wells
enahnced, so that oil production increases. The use of water as a method of
extracting oil from wells causes the oil to contain a large amount of water content,
so it must be separated before further processing. Industry uses three-phase
separators to separate water and oil, with the aim of separating most of the water
before the oil is further processed. However, the manufacture of three-phase
separation requires a large amount of money, so it is necessary to design a tool
through modeling first.
Computational fluid dynamics is a modeling solution for designing accurate threephase
separations. The model developed in this study was tested by T-test against
real free water knockout at a 95% confidence level, and resulted in a p-value of
0.13. The model that has been obtained is added with internal components such as
baffles, coalescer, and diverters to observe their effect on the efficiency of
separation. The results of the study show that the diverter provides the most
significant increase in efficiency up to 78.04%. Meanwhile, the use of coalescer
and baffle provides an increase in the efficiency of separation by 56.82% and
25.10%, respectively. The combination of these three internals provides an increase
in separation efficiency of up to 56.82%. |
