Ever wondered how crude oil, gas, and water are separated after coming out of an oil well? In this video, we explain the 3-Phase Separator, a vital piece of equipment used in the oil and gas industry to separate natural gas, crude oil, and produced water efficiently.
You’ll learn how well fluids enter the separator, how gravity helps separate the three layers — gas at the top, oil in the middle, and water at the bottom — and how safety systems like the Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) and flare vent keep the operation safe.
This video is perfect for engineering students, mechanical engineers, and oil & gas professionals who want to understand the basic process design and working principle of 3-phase separators.
