The SPE Separations Technology Technical Section's series of articles on separator design, lessons learned, and solutions for separation problems continues with an article that highlights how inlet geometries may cause poor flow distribution. Maldistribution and jetting may lead to a loss of retention time, foaming, re-entrainment, and high-velocity hot spots on demisting devices, causing carry-over. Poor flow distribution can lead to separation problems and a loss of separation efficiency.
