Separation Technologies

Costacurta’s Separation Technologies area has been committed to developing solutions that best meet its clients’ gas-liquid and liquid-liquid separation needs for more than 60 years. Our engineering capabilities and wide range of separator internals are the result of a continuous learning process and of a strong commitment to engineering and product development. The tools we use today in our Separation Technologies area include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Analysis, process design tools developed in-house, 2D and 3D modelling as well as an internal testing facility. These tools enable us to further develop our technology and to deliver high quality products, solutions and services. How we work Depending on the operating conditions (temperature and pressure) and properties of the process fluids (flow rate, density, viscosity and surface tension), Costacurta selects and designs the best internals with the aim of achieving the required performance, minimising pressure drop, weights, dimension and costs of the internals and of the separators they are installed in. Guaranteed Performance Revamping In the case of the revamping of existing equipment, Costacurta selects and designs separator internals, sometimes also making one-off components designed for a specific application, able to guarantee the required separation performance without having to replace the pressure vessel. We also design and supply special systems to support the internals that minimise or eliminate the need for the welding of the pressurised parts. New projects In the case of new projects or plants, Costacurta’s Separation Technologies department is able to dimension the vessels, optimising their size. In these cases, along with the construction drawings of the internals, information is also provided about the vessel’s dimensions and layout as well as the dimensions and thickness of the supports to weld to the tank’s walls.
