About conversion of separators

The automatic conversion
• Additional valves
– For each created flowline and for the original
OLGA5 separator drain a new valve is
added.
– The keys CD and DIAMETER for the valve
are taken from the OLGA 5 separator keys
xxxCD and xxxDIAMETER. Here xxx is OIL
for the oil drain, WAT for the water drain,
GAS for the gas drain and EMG for the
emergency drain.

c) Set parameters in created valves
• For the automatically created valves, the user may have to
specify
– PHASE (Required if a valve table is used in OLGA5 separator)
– TABLE (Required if a valve table is used in OLGA5 separator)

d) Connecting the controllers
• In OLGA 5.3, we can see that the separator outlets are
controlled by the two controllers C-PT and LCV. In OLGA 6,
these controllers are used to control the two valves at the
outlets of the two flowpaths FLOWLINE_GAS and
FLOWLINE_OIL, respectively.
• The two controllers are not fully connected. This needs to be
done manually (see figures below).

About the created separator liquid drains
(optional)
• Please note that the liquid drains of the separator will start
to produce gas when the liquid level gets low. In OLGA 5
the liquid drains of the single train separator was
automatically closed when the liquid level dropped below a
critical value.
