Horiz KO

The document outlines the sizing calculations for a horizontal flare knockout (KO) drum according to API RP 521 standards, including fluid data and assumed drum dimensions. It contains placeholders for various parameters such as vapor and liquid flow rates, operating conditions, and drum dimensions, which are currently set to zero. Additionally, it includes notes on the ideal length-to-diameter ratio and maximum allowable liquid levels in the drum.

HORIZONTAL FLARE KO DRUM SIZING


(Method in Accordance with API RP 521)

1. Fluid Data 2. Calculation of particle drop-out velocity

Vapour flow to drum = #DIV/0! actual m3/h


Vapour flow to KO Drum 0 kg/h Liquid flow to drum = #DIV/0! actual m3/h
Liquid flow to drum 0 kg/h
Diameter of required droplet separation 0 microns
Drum operating temperature 0 °C
Drum operating pressure 0 barg C(Re)2 = #DIV/0!
MW of vapour 0
Drag coefficient 0
Liquid density at operating conditions 0 kg/m3 (Taken from Fig. 20, API RP 521)
Vapour density at operating conditions 0.00 kg/m3
Gas viscosity 0 cP Particle drop-out velocity = #DIV/0! m/s

3. Assumed Drum dimensions 4. Verification of drum dimensions

Assumed drum diameter 0.0 m Assumed residual liquid level in drum 0 inches
Assumed separation length 0.0 m Duration of release to flare 0 min
(nozzle - nozzle length)
Max. liquid level in drum = 0.00 m
Inlet nozzle diameter 0 inches = #DIV/0! % drum dia.(3)
Outlet nozzle diameter 0 inches
Drop out time = #DIV/0! secs
The assumed length shown is the length available for Vapour velocity = #DIV/0! m/s
droplet separation, i.e. the distance between the two nozzles.
An estimation of the T - T length is gained by assuming the Minimum separation length required #DIV/0! m
distance from the nozzle CL to the vessel tan line is equal to
the nozzle diameter (1). To be confirmed by Vessels Group. This calculated separation length should be less than or equal to the
assumed separation length.
Approx. KO drum dimensions 0 x 0 mm
(L/D ratio =#DIV/0!
)

Notes
(1)
Ref: FW Process Std. 101.
(2)
Ideally L/D ratio should be between 3:1 and 4:1 (Ref: FW Process Std. 101).
(3)
Max. allowable liq. level = 80% of drum diameter (Ref: FW Process Std. 101).

This example allows the user to readily customise an opening Splash Page.
It uses a Splash Form, and most of the VBA code is within the form itself. The form simply has to be
imported into the user's Excel application.
A little code has to be put into Workbook_Open(...). This is described in the VBA with this (current)
workbook.
The user must have a worksheet called Splash, and the items to appear on the Splash Form must be
layed out on the worksheet using the identical cell references as shown here. (Cell formatting is not
necessary, only helpful). You can hide this "Splash" worksheet from the users by bringing it up on the
screen as your active sheet, then clicking on 'Format'=>'Sheet'=>'Hide'.

The Application name (or title) goes into Cell B1


Any other text must be layed out in cells B2:B7. If any of your text lines is long, it will be automatically
wrapped to fit onto the form.
To test your text entry, and see how it will look, just run the macro Open_Splash

(The code can optionally include a timer, so the form displays for just 6 seconds, then closes. This
would replace the "OKAY" button).
