2-Vertical Separator PDF

This document provides design calculations for two phases of a vertical separator. It includes feed data on vapor and liquid flows, drum design parameters like meshing and alarms, and calculated dimensions for the separator including diameter, height of sections, volumes, and liquid-vapor velocity ratios. The calculations are presented to size the vertical separator for normal service conditions.
