Spherical separator

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-003539

A type of pressure vessel used for separating oil, gas, and water from a well stream, characterized by its spherical shape. This design offers a compact footprint and good resistance to high pressures, making it suitable for certain offshore or space-constrained applications. However, its internal volume is less efficient for gravity separation compared to horizontal separators.
