As with vertical two-phase separators, a minimum diameter must be  maintained to assure adequate gas capacity. In addition, vertical threephase  separators must maintain a minimum diameter to allow the 500 micron water droplets to settle. The height of the three-phase separator is  determined from retention time considerations.

Gas Capacity
The gas capacity constraints provide the following formula

For sizing a horizontal three-phase separator it is necessary to specify a vessel diameter and a seam-to-seam vessel length. The gas capacity and retention time considerations establish certain acceptable combinations of diameter and length. The need to settle 500-micron water droplets
from the oil establishes a maximum diameter.
Gas Capacity
The gas capacity constraints provide the following formula,

Flow enters the vessel through the side as in the horizontal separator, the inlet diverter separates the bulk of the gas. A downcomer is required to transmit the liquid through the oil-gas interface so as not to disturb the oil skimming action taking place. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two common internals not discussed are coalescing plates and sand jets. It is possible to use various plate or pipe coalescer designs to aid in the coalescing of oil droplets in the water and water droplets in the oil.

The installation of coalescing plates in the liquid section will cause the size of the water [...]]]></description>
