This document provides an adequacy check for a new horizontal separator. It contains process data like flow rates and properties for gas, oil, and water. It also lists vessel dimensions. Calculations are shown to check that the separator cross sectional area and path length meet requirements for gas separation. Retention times are calculated and checked against minimum values. Nozzle sizing is also calculated and checked against existing values. A sketch of the separator is provided with key dimensions labeled.
