Separator test is calculated by taking a feed and sending it through a number of separator steps and determine the condition that gives the smallest oil volume relative to the saturation point oil volume.
The goal is to determine the optimum surface separation condition that will maximize the stock-tank oil production.
The user has to give a temperature that is held constant during the calculations and a pressure for each of the wanted separation steps.
The software will report:
•Initial oil volume/stock tank oil volume •Total volume of gas removed/stock tank oil volume

|
Distribution
|
C# : object
(Expect a range of double)
|
Yes
|
Gives a range with the distribution of the polymer. Can for example be used if 2 flash calculations are liked as 2 separation tanks.
