Vertical Drum Separator Design

This document provides calculations for the design of a vertical drum separator with demister used in a geothermal power plant. It includes process data like flow rates and operating conditions. Nozzle sizes are calculated based on criteria like velocity and density. Drum diameter is determined considering demister diameter and critical vapor velocity. Vessel height is designed to provide minimum specified holding times between sections. Final dimensions like length to diameter ratio and volumes are reported.
