Powering cleaner, faster multiphase flow
For decades, separation has been carbon-intensive, imprecise and slow. Separator tanks may need up to 48 hours of retention time and require a large equipment footprint. Meanwhile, heater treaters and vapor recovery towers (VRTs) are major sources of emissions. Beyond these environmental and operational drawbacks, the current process also makes it nearly impossible to achieve accurate measurement. Separa’s products solve these challenges with an innovative approach that delivers immediate, zero emissions separation and accurate measurement.
Environmental Benefits
Separa’s technology equips oil and gas producers to meet their sustainability goals, including urgent net zero targets.
No Heat or Power
Our mechanical approach delivers immediate separation without requiring heat or power.
No Chemicals
By delivering precise separation across a wide range of APIs, Separa’s solutions can eliminate the need for harsh chemicals that treat and separate oil after extraction.
Smaller Footprint
Our compact, scalable systems can reduce the equipment footprint by up to 75%.
Operational Benefits
From lower opex to less retention time, our innovative solutions makes environmental and economical sense.
Immediate Separation
Our product’s real-time separation eliminates retention time, allowing for enhanced efficiency and a faster sale.
Highly-Precise Measurement
Single-phase liquid and gas are fully segregated, enabling more accurate measurement than the traditional programming approach.
Reduced Opex and Equipment Capex
With no moving parts and wide flow ranges, our solutions eliminate traditional field maintenance.
Innovations in two-phase flow
Separa’s design enables real-time separation of two-phase flow. It utilizes three stages of flow restructuring and phase separation to completely force gas out of the liquid phase — with no retention time and no emissions.
Stage 1: Coil
Using centrifugal force, a coil pathway restructures fluid into a stratified smooth flow. A diverter valve directs all gas into the vessel.
Stage 2: Hydro-cyclones
Inside the vessel, hydro-cyclones forcibly remove the gas from the liquid to create the secondary phase separation.
Stage 3: Diverter plate
The diverter plate forcefully changes the direction and velocity of the liquid as it leaves the cyclone. This separates any remaining microbubbles from the liquid.
With separation complete, the single-phase gas and liquid exit different parts of the vessel, where it can be easily and precisely measured.
