This 30″ x 10′ vertical separator is a field-tested, non-code pressure vessel used primarily in upstream oil and gas production to separate the components of wellstream fluids—gas, oil, water, and solids. Installed close to the wellhead, this unit plays a critical role in early-stage processing by isolating gas from liquids and removing free water and particulates from production flow.
Designed with a 250 PSI pressure rating and a 200°F temperature capacity, this separator remains a capable workhorse for lower- to mid-pressure applications. Though the exterior paint is in poor condition, the vessel itself remains structurally sound and functional for operations where code compliance is not required.

What Does a Separator Do?
Vertical separators use gravity and internal baffling to efficiently separate gas from liquid phases in raw production fluids. Gas exits through the top, while oil, water, and solids settle into different levels at the bottom. This process helps reduce downstream equipment wear, improve pipeline and storage safety, and condition fluids for further processing or disposal.
Conclusion
This used 30″ x 10′ vertical separator is a practical option for non-code, lower-budget projects or temporary installations where full ASME compliance is not required. Despite cosmetic wear, it still provides reliable separation capabilities for a range of upstream oilfield applications.
