Vahab Montazeri; Atefeh Ghazi

Volume 11, Issue 4 , October 2022, , Pages 11-26

https://doi.org/10.22050/ijogst.2023.386627.1668

Abstract
   AbstractIt is essential to separate two immiscible liquids from gas to produce the light liquid, heavy liquid, and vapor phases. The separation of water from hydrocarbons is a practical example in the oil industry. For such separation in industry, three phase separator is used. In this study, different ...  Read More
