For professionals of all fields, Monarch's Phase Sepa-rators fulfill all of the prerequisites necessary for sepa-ration of gas and total liquid from a production stream. Released from frustrations associated with the non-performance, size and costs of most separation equip-ment, buyers and end users alike enjoy a technology epitomizing performance, value and quality. For more than twenty eight years, Monarch Separa-tors, Inc. has been advancing these concepts, engi-neering and manufacturing separators that emphasize complete customer satisfaction. With their combina-tion of removal efficiency, maintenance free design, and durability, Monarch's separators remain a paragon for gas, oil, and water separation technology. The results speak for themselves. With installations throughout the world, Monarch’s separators are the preferred technology for two or three phase separa-tion. Provided here for your consideration is a brief descrip-tion of how our Separators function. For a sales in-quiry or customized application, call a Monarch engi-neer direct and see why our custom solutions have made Monarch #1 in the business.

MONARCH’S PHASE SEPARATORS

The primary function of Monarch's Phase Sepa-rators is to separate either two or three phase inlet stream, consisting of a gas/liquid in our two phase separator or gas/oil/water in our three phase separator, into separate phases. In other words, a removal of the total liquid from the gas and also removal of the free water from the hydrocarbon liquid. Monarch's Phase Separators are designed to exploit the physical differences in the various phases and on a modification of Stokes Law. Since Monarch's Phase Separators are consid-ered mechanical separation vessels, various mechanical features and devices are utilized to enhance, accelerate or otherwise improve the efficiency of the process. Monarch's Phase Separators are engineered to meet your requirements. Whether your separa-tion requirement demands a Separator capable of withstanding the rigors of a harsh environ-ment or your companies value driver is a strin-gent budget, Monarch has a Separator capable of meeting your separation and financial re-quirements simultaneously.

MONARCH’S PHASE SEPARATORS STRENGTHS INCLUDE:

• ASME Code or Non-Code Vessel Design • Excellent separation of Hydrocarbons, Gas, Free Water • Low Economics including Purchase, Maintenance & Operation • Customization to Client Specifications • Various M.O.C. including Carbon, Stainless Steel and Exotics.

2 PHASE SEPARATOR OPERATION

Excellence in Production and Process Operations

Understanding the components of Monarch’s Phase Separators is simple. Monarch’s Phase Separators (Two Phase Configuration shown) consists of the following: A= Vessel, B= Skid or Saddles, C= Monarch Turbulence Diverter, E= Vortex Breakers, F= Monarch Coalescing Matrix. Sizes, Shapes and Accessories can be customized per customer requirements. Call or e-mail Monarch directly or your local Monarch representative for more details.

1

Operation of our Phase Separator is as follows: The process flows through the inlet nozzle and the Inlet Diverter gently moves the process towards one end of the vessel, which initiates the separation process. Within the separation area, heavy hydrocarbons fall toward the bottom while the lighter process starts moving upwards towards the main separation interface.

2

As the process enters the Monarch Turbulence Diverter, the process is settled to promote separation efficiency. For more unstable processes. further customization of the separation zone internals by Monarch improves separation and maximizes performance.

3

The rising process encounters a Monarch Coalescing Matrix. As the process rises through the layers of the Monarch Coalescing Matrix, contacting surfaces within the matrix, entrained liquids are eventually intercepted as they continuously impact each surface.

4

The gas within the process stream continues to rise as the heavier liquids separate, attach and coalesce into droplets within the matrix. As the droplets with in the matrix increase, so does their weight. Consequently, the heavier droplets travel toward the bottom of the separator due to gravity.

5

Hydrocarbon collections on the bottom of the separator are discharged via pump or gravity, while the gas is discharged.

Monarch's Phase Separator product line remains the most effectively designed gravity operated Separator in the world. These systems can be used in conjunction with other separation or treatment equipment, or can be used alone. As is our trademark, Monarch's Phase Separators are completely customizable. Whether your requirement is a larger capacity system, additional connections or elevation adjustments, size restrictions, auxiliary equipment, or just coating preference, Monarch's Separator can easily adjust with your requirement. Call us today, we are eager to provide you with solutions and excellent service.

Understanding the components of Monarch’s Phase Separators is simple. Monarch’s Phase Separators (Three Phase Configuration shown) consists of the following: A= Vessel, B= Skid or Saddles, C= Inlet Diverter, D= Distribution Baffle, E= Monarch Coalescing Pack, F= Foam Breaker, G= Vortex Breakers, H= Oil Sump and Weir, I= Mist Eliminator, J= Sand Jetting System. Sizes, Shapes and Accessories can be customized per customer requirements. Call or e-mail Monarch directly or your local Monarch representative for more details.

1

Operation of our Phase Separator is as follows: The influent flows through the inlet nozzle and is smoothly divided into two distinct streams by the Inlet Diverter. Within this compartment, heavy liquids fall in solution and collect in the base of the Primary Collection Compartment, while the gas stream collects in the upper section of this compartment.

2

The liquid influent, minus a portion of the initial gas stream, flows up through the Slotted Distribution Baffle where the flow is equalized prior to processing through the Monarch Coalescing Pack.

3

As the oil/liquid influent enters the Monarch Coalescing Pack, which maximizes the coalescing interfacial area. Further customization of the Monarch Coalescing Pack improves coalescence of various phases and maximizes performance. Accumulation of sand or silt particles are dislodged with the sand jetting system and removed via the sand discharge nozzles.

4

Rising particles form a skim layer at the surface of the water. This skim layer will be in stratified in various layers. As the oil droplets travel to the water level, the concentrated oil layer is skimmed into the oil sump. This skim layer is defined by the differential setting of the oil weir and the free water level. Oil is discharged through a vortex breaker via gravity or pump.

5The gas phase encounters several high surface area internals which vary in grades, styles and specific application. The variance in grade and style enables such high surface area internals as the foam breaker to break down the frothing tendency of the influent stream. Other high surface area internals include an optional gas flow straightening device used to lessen the effect of gas velocity on the separation process and mist eliminators, which coalesce the remaining liquid droplets in the gas phase prior to gas discharge.

6

The free water fluid flows through to the Free Water Section of the Separator and is discharged through a vortex breaker via gravity or pump.
