# Industrial Specification: Separation Chamber / Tank

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized vessel within a degasser system designed to separate gases from liquids through controlled pressure and flow conditions.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-15 bar absolute pressure, 20-80°C temperature, 0.5-3.0 m/s liquid velocity**. Failure boundary: **Pressure exceeding 20 bar absolute causes vessel rupture, temperature below -10°C induces brittle fracture in carbon steel, liquid velocity above 5 m/s creates destructive cavitation**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance at 20 bar (σ_y = 250 MPa for SA-516 Gr.70), ductile-to-brittle transition at -10°C (Charpy V-notch &lt; 27 J), cavitation at vapor pressure threshold (P_v = 0.023 bar at 20°C)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| P | Internal Pressure | Engineering Constant |
| D | Diameter | Engineering Constant |
| t | Wall Thickness | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Pressure relief valve failure during gas accumulation | 8 | Catastrophic vessel rupture at 20 bar overpressure | Dual redundant pressure relief valves with ASME Section VIII certification, plus rupture disk at 22 bar |
| Corrosive gas mixture (H2S &gt; 50 ppm) in separated gases | 8 | Hydrogen-induced cracking in weld zones after 1000 hours exposure | NACE MR0175 compliant materials (UNS S31603 stainless steel), post-weld heat treatment at 1050°C |

### Industrial DNA Context (De-duplicated)
**Complementary Dependencies**: **Vacuum Pump System**, **Liquid Feed Pump**, **Gas-Liquid Separator**  
**Downstream Applications**: Degassed Drilling Mud, Purified Industrial Process Water, Deaerated Hydraulic Fluid  

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in manufacturing separation chambers for degasser systems?
**A**: Our separation chambers are constructed from premium materials including Stainless Steel 316L, Carbon Steel, and Specialty Alloys to ensure durability and corrosion resistance in demanding industrial environments.

### Q: How does a separation chamber work within a degasser system?
**A**: The separation chamber operates by creating controlled pressure and flow conditions that allow gases to separate from liquids, with separated gases vented through the gas vent port while purified liquids exit through the outlet nozzle.

### Q: What safety features are included in your separation chambers?
**A**: Each chamber includes a pressure relief valve for overpressure protection, level sensor ports for monitoring liquid levels, and robust construction to withstand industrial operating conditions.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 9001:2015 - QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
- PED 2014/68/EU - PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE
