This course offers a practical and theory-backed approach to separator design and sizing, guiding learners through key concepts such as droplet size, K factor, residence time, and operating conditions like foaming and slugging. Through lectures, case studies, and Excel-based exercises, you’ll learn to select appropriate separator types and internals, apply separation criteria, and design both two-phase and three-phase vessels tailored to real-world process requirements.
