1. Introduction
This document is intended to describe the process design for the HP Separators (MBD-1000/ 1010/
1020/ 1030).

3. Process Description
Further details of the internals are given below:
The CDS Inlet CycloneTM absorbs the high inlet momentum of the incoming process stream
converting the inlet velocity into centrifugal force. The centrifugal force drives liquid and gas
separation within the cyclones. The separated liquid leaves the cyclone through the bottom section
submerged in the process liquid. The gas exits the cyclone through the top section. The cyclone is
designed for different gas-to-oil ratios with high flexibility in operating range.
The CDS Inlet CycloneTM is designed to minimize shear and break-up of liquid droplets.
Furthermore, pressure drops in the cyclones are balanced to prevent liquid carry over and gas
carry under. Liquid carry over from the cyclone should be avoided to prevent a too high liquid load
on the downstream demister; gas carry under should be avoided to prevent foam generation and
gas re-entrainment in the liquid phase.
In applications where foaming occurs, the CDS Inlet CycloneTM reduces foam generation as a result
of the applied centrifugal forces and high gas from liquid removal efficiency.
Key benefits:
• Well established technology
• Proven performance optimized by CFD
• Robust design with mechanical strength verified by FEA
• Resistant to fouling and blocking
• Flexible operating envelope for all gas/liquid ratios
• Effectively dissipates high inlet momentum
• Low shear forces
• Mitigation of foam generation
• Improves separation performance of vessel

Revision : 1
The inlet momentum of multiphase fluid entering a separator vessel must be effectively contained
within the inlet zone while minimizing turbulence and shearing. Most of the momentum will be
dispersed by the inlet device ensuring good distribution of fluid flow across the inlet zone. When
fluctuating flow is experienced, changing velocities, phase ratios and slugging has the potential to
agitate the inlet zone. Baffles positioned downstream of the inlet device serve to contain surges
within the separator inlet zone.
Perforated baffles are designed with an open area between 20-40% creating the desired level of
pressure drop. By creating the pressure drop across the width of the vessel provides two direct
benefits to separation efficiency:
1. Ensuring plug flow. Using the full width of the vessel prevents jetting or short cutting
downstream towards the outlet nozzles
2. Gas phase hold up. Reduce gas phase velocity and liquid droplet entrainment towards the
downstream demisting devices.

8.7 Accessibility
All internals are installable and removable via the manway. Client is requested to inform FMC
about the available space around the separator and accessibility to the manway. Obstructions near
the vessel and manway must be clearly indicated prior to design. This in order to prevent that
parts of the internals will not be able to enter the vessel.

9. Process Guarantee
Based on the equipment being stored, erected and operated in accordance with FMC instructions
we guarantee the following.
The overall liquid carryover at high-high liquid level, neglecting the effect of condensation across
the vessel due to pressure drop, will not exceed 0.1 USG/MMSCF.
