An improved fluid separator and tester having a vessel, an adjustably buoyant float member, an external surge tank, and a gas vent connected to the fluid separator having a float and gas valve assembly, the improvement comprising a set of risers set to equal height, at least one valve to redirect fluid flow to test flow meters, and a spill preventer having a connection to a vertical gas valve, a housing, at least one internal freely movable float, upper float seat adapted to receive a float to seal and prevent the escape of particulates while allowing the venting of gas, a float support means, and discharge means for expelling the contents, whereby the improvements provide increased accuracy in determining a volume of each type of input fluid during operations, allow for the assessment of proper operation of the meters, and prevent environmental contamination in the event of system malfunction. |

1. An improved fluid separator and tester having a vertically oriented vessel positioned on a support frame, an adjustably buoyant float member, an upper and lower housing having a tapered interior seat, an external surge tank, a first pipeline connecting to the upper housing, a second pipeline connecting to the lower housing and a gas vent connected to the fluid separator having a horizontal float assembly, a vertical gas valve assembly, the improvement comprising:
a. a set of risers wherein risers, each feeding a flow meter, are set at equal height adapted to equalize pressure thus removing bias and increasing the overall accuracy of the meters; b. at least one valve adapted to redirect fluid flow to verify flow meters are functionally properly; and c. a spill preventer having—
i. a connection to a vertical gas valve adapted to receive gas and other particulates,ii. a housing,iii. at least one float adapted to reside inside the housing and move freely,iv. an upper float seat adapted to receive a float to seal an opening and prevent the escape of particulates while allowing the venting of gas,v. a float support means, andvi. a discharge means for expelling the accumulated contents, whereby the improvements provide increased accuracy in determining a volume of each type of input fluid during operations, allow for the assessment of proper operation of the meters, and prevent environmental contamination in the event of system malfunction. |
