HOW WE MEET THE CHALLENGES

After initially simulating the operating cases using standard separator design methods we then carry out a series of incremental designs drawing upon a range of internals options to evaluate the performance improvements, finally optimizing the overall vessel and nozzle sizing to deliver the most cost-effective design to match target performance.

This expertise is also available to check or verify third party vessel sizing and performance claims
