Seperator Sizing Sheet (Ken Arnold)

The document provides calculations for sizing a 3 phase separator. It includes input data for production rates of oil, water and gas as well as properties. It then calculates densities of gas and oil. Next, it calculates the drag coefficient and checks it against an assumed value. Finally, it calculates diameter length multiples to determine the diameter and length needed to meet constraints for gas and liquid capacities. The optimal size is determined by meeting both the gas and liquid constraints.
