520 3 |a The design of bulk separators for oil, gas, and water vessel-type gravity separators significantly affects the cost of topside and subsea oil- and gas-processing installations. There are often many uncertainties during the design process, such as the separator performance, fluid properties, and variation and evolution of the inlet conditions. The industry employs mechanistic models, empirical correlations, numerical studies using Computational Fluid Dynamics, and extensive and expensive experimental campaigns with separator prototypes. However, owing to time, personnel, and information integration constraints in the design phase, design evaluation, and validation are often limited to performing comprehensive sensitivity studies. This often leads to suboptimal designs and early bottlenecks. This study proposes using stochastic mathematical programming and optimization to include the effects of uncertainties in the design parameters during the separator design process. The proposed solution involves the development of a three-phase horizontal separator design model. The model was implemented using Microsoft Excel Visual Basic for Applications. The study then considered the effects of the uncertainties in the oil, gas, and water flow rates and slug volume on the optimal design using stochastic optimization. Conservative, optimistic, and ultimate design parameters (P10, P50, and P90) were obtained for each scenario. The results of this study provide a method and tool to aid topside design teams while expanding on previous research in the literature regarding separator design.
