The work highlights the study of the operation of a gas-liquid separator, which is designed to purify gas from liquid and solid impurities. Such separators are used in the oil and gas, chemical, oil and gas processing and other industries. The main advantages of separators compared to other gas purification equipment are their low operating cost and ease of maintenance. Using simulation modeling, this work investigated the functions performed by a vertical gas-liquid separator, taking into account the composition of the gas-liquid mixture, its flow rate and temperature. Parametric research was used to study the operation of the separator, which allowed us to determine a number of combinations of the volumetric flow rate of the gas-liquid mixture and temperature. The obtained simulation modeling results allow us to assess the influence of the composition and temperature of the gas stream on the operation of the separator, namely on the mass concentration of water in the output gas stream.
