RCH Industries Vertical 3-Phase Separator 24" x 7'6"

The RCH Industries Vertical 3-Phase Separator is a robust pressure vessel designed for efficient separation of gas, oil, and water in oil and gas production operations. With a 24-inch diameter and 7-foot-6-inch height, this separator is ideal for upstream processing in wellhead applications, gathering systems, and production facilities. It features multiple inlet and outlet ports for fluid entry, gas venting, oil outflow, and water drainage, along with internal components like mesh demisters for enhanced separation efficiency. Originally certified by RCH Industries and later rerated by Exterran, it offers reliable performance under moderate pressure conditions. Benefits include compact vertical design saving space, high corrosion resistance due to carbon steel construction with potential coatings, and ease of maintenance with accessible ports. Drawbacks may include the need for periodic inspection for rust in harsh environments, as seen in used units, and limited capacity compared to larger horizontal models. This model excels in low to medium flow rate scenarios, providing better phase separation than two-phase alternatives by incorporating dedicated water handling. It complies with ASME standards, ensuring safety and durability in demanding industrial settings.
