“…The DN200 hydraulic test section as well as the DN300/DN500 test separator are built in a sectional manner to allow changes in design and routing according to the requirement of future measurement campaigns. First results obtained from the test rig will be published in subsequent articles [20,21].…”

An optimized equipment design for natural gas processing and liquefaction plants becomes increasingly difficult with changing process conditions: Particularly low values of surface tension create rising challenges on the design of phase separators and column internals. The TERESA test rig at HZDR was designed to allow the investigation of multiphase thermohydraulics and phase separator performance under critical fluid properties in industrial dimensions. A versatile pipe test section is available in DN200 and equipment internals may be tested in a sectional DN300/DN500 test separator. The applied test fluid shows a high vapor-liquid density difference between 1470 and 940 kg m -3 , viscosity as low as 0.12 mm 2 s -1 , and surface tension down to 1.3 mN m -1 . Volumetric liquid and vapor flow rates may be varied up to 9 and 530 m 3 h -1 in the test rig, respectively.

The removal of unwanted droplets in thermal separation units is often accomplished using knitted wire meshes. Alongside the separation efficiency, the pressure drop plays a crucial role for the design of these demisters. Wire meshes have been subject to limited investigations, and correlations for predicting the pressure drop, both with or without loading (referred to as dry pressure drop), have not yet been validated. To address this gap, experimental analyses of porosity and dry pressure drop were conducted over a wide range of wire mesh parameters and intake gas velocities. An empirical correlation was developed from these experimental results and further data from the literature. This correlation enables prediction of the pressure drop with a mean deviation of ±20 %.
