Abstract

In general, presently existing separators for the effluents of gas and oil wells are large volume, low pressure devices, which usually rely on gravity for the separation of solids from produced well fluids. A simple separator for separating solids and liquids from oil or gas well effluents capable of operating at high pressures includes an elongated, horizontal tank with an inlet in one end thereof for receiving well effluent, level control ports in a side of the tank for maintaining liquid in the tank at a predetermined level below the longitudinal center of the tank, a slotted baffle extending downwardly from the top of the tank near the inlet end for defining an inlet chamber permitting rapid expansion of the effluent and promoting solids separation, the inlet chamber being followed by a gravity chamber facilitating gravity separation of solids, a plurality of perforated plates downstream of the baffle defining aggregate chambers containing particulate material for promoting additional solids separation and coalescence of hydrocarbon liquids and water in the liquid portion of the effluent, and an outlet chamber downstream of the aggregate chambers with a gas outlet in the top thereof for discharging gas from the tank, partitions defining a hydrocarbon discharge basin into which hydrocarbon liquids overflow for discharge from the tank, and a water outlet in the other end of the tank beneath the normal operating liquid level for discharging water from the tank.
