    Slug Catcher Sizing

    Dear All,

    Would you please help me with sizing vesseel type slug catcher? I mean i don't know the exact criteria of L/D, and how should i determine the vessel diameter by knowing the slug volume?
    Our slug volume is approximately 100 m3.

    With Best Regards

  5. Dear SZI
    A typical horizontal or vertical production separator vessel may have a
    length/diameter (L/D) ratio in the range of 2 to 5.
    Horizontal vessel slug catchers may have L/D ratios as high as 15 to 20. This is because of the large surge
    volumes required and the fabrication limitations on vessel diameters. Increased L/D also reduces the wall thickness of the vessel.
    Finger and pipe loop slug catchers may have much larger L/D ratios, since they are fabricated from standard piping lengths.

    Dear tv-pve

    Thanks, would you please help me with calculating D and also present your reference for L/D 15 to 20?

    Regards
