Based on its in-house process know-how and experience of separation, Costacurta’s Separation Technologies department selects and designs the most appropriate internals with the aim of optimising the overall performance of the separators they are installed in. Indeed, the choice of the correct set of internals enables the same separation performances to be reached, also optimising the size and cost of the vessel, for which Costacurta provides indications about the layout and size.

This optimisation process is carried out based on the operating conditions (temperature and pressure) and the characteristics of the process fluids (flow rate, density, viscosity and surface tension).

In the case where the client has specific needs and the internals represent a significant share of the value of the complete separator, Costacurta can provide the client with the vessel complete with all the internals. In this way, Costacurta offers the client a turnkey service in the process design stage and for the management of all the following stages through to delivery of the vessel complete with internals and all the relative documentation.

Distinctive elements

• Process engineering and dimensioning performed in-company using tools developed in-house

• Experience in the management of projects that have to meet particularly restrictive technical requirements, interact with different subjects and guarantee rapid delivery times

• Presence of an ad-hoc project team
