Sizing Steps
Select number of primary bottles (npb) npb
Select bottle diameter (Dbottle) Dbottle-sel Inch
Distance from end of downcomer to the gas riser
Vapour Velocity Vm m/s
Maldistribution Overdesign on Diameter %
L/D ratio
Calculate the entrance length and confirm that the bottle diameter is adequate. Lseparation m
Maldistribution Overdesign on Storage %
Storage length of slug catcher
Calculate the required storage length Lstorage m
Determine total length and width of slug catcher. If secondary bottles are to L m
be used, L,can be determined according to the available length of the plot for
the slug catcher(Appendix 1).
