Vertical or Horizontal.
A cylindrical or spherical vessel used to separate oil, gas and water from the total fluid stream produced by a well. Separators can be either horizontal or vertical. These vessels can be classified into 2-phase and 3-phase separators (commonly called free-water knockout).
Vertical Separator
A vessel with its cylindrical axes perpendicular to the ground that is used to separate oil, gas and water from the production stream. The vessel can be a 2-phase and 3-phase separator. These separators are designed primarily for intermediate gas-oil ratios.

Horizontal Separator
A vessel with its cylindrical axes parallel to the ground that is used to separate oil, gas and water from the production stream. The vessel can be a 2-phase or 3-phase separator. Horizontal separators are suited for high gas-oil ratios and constant flow well-streams.
2-Phase or 3-Phase Separators
2-Phase Separators
Designed specifically for oil and gas. The well stream enters the separator and strikes and inlet deflector which diverts the liquid and gas downstream to the liquid section where it begins to separate. After adequate retention time, liquid builds up in the bottom of the tank and lifts a float, through a linkage to dump the fluid.
3-Phase Separators
Designed specifically for oil, gas and water. Essentially the same as a 2-phase except the separator has an internal inlet downcomer, which carries the fluid to the bottom of the vessel for added retention and separation time.
