5.0 PROCESS
The separation train is critical in the separation of well fluids into gas and liquid
phases. The Modules will be designed so as to ensure that appropriate gas/liquid
separation takes place in the two-phase vertical vessel. Separation trains will
operate in Three modes, LP, HP & VHP based on the specific requirement. For
each installation, LP trains should cater for 100% of design throughput . This
Functional Specification will cover several different module sizes to enable the
Company to have flexibility in its operations.
Well fluids are diverted to LP, HP, VHP and test headers where they are preheated
by a Preheater or well fluid / thermal fluid (Geleki GGSII) followed by a bath heater
to 60 deg C. liquid from the VHP/HP separator is routed to either the HP/LP
separator or heater treater . Oil from the LP separator is routed directly to the heater
treater for oil / water separation. LP separator gas will be further routed for
compression by LP compressor at the centralised GCP or at the same GGS
For VHP/HP separation, well fluids are directly routed from the header into the bath-
heater where they are heated to 60 deg C. Well-fluids from bath heater is then sent
to VHP / HP separation from where the fluids will be sent to LP separator or heater
treater. VHP Gas will be used for Gas Lift requirement in Borholla / Koraghat GGS
and HP Gas from GGS-V, Lakhmani will be transported to the gas compressor
station (GCP).

The inlet separator level is controlled via a control valve on the liquid outlet of the
vessel. The primary aim is the level control of the inlet separator. A cascade
system is proposed where the level output from the inlet separator vessel cascades
onto the flow control loop on the liquid outlet from the inlet separator.
Within the central level zone for the separator, the control loop will be in flow control
and the level may fluctuate within the present bands, When the level approaches
the high and low levels more closely, the level controller will adjust the set-point of
the “flow control valve” to open or close the valve separator level returns to normal.
An alarm will be will be provided for high level and low level in the separator.
When the level rises above high-level, the inlet valve closes and this decreases the
liquid flux into the inlet separator and thereby decreasing the level.
The inlet shut-down valve will close when the level rises to HH level.
For pressure control PCVs will be fitted to the gas outlet lines (both flare side as
well as compressor side ) from the inlet separator which is controlled by PIT.
The vendor has the option of complying with the above control philosophy or
proposing an alternative design provided the control system offers advantages in
terms of process performance and cost savings.
Measurement systems to be provided for emulsion and produced gas quantity
measurement as well as for BS&W measurement. For Liquid Metering: Coriolis
Mass Flow Meters Meters shall be used ( for non custody transfer case) and for
Gas Measurement - Orifice Metering shall be used.
