The oil industry has a great importance on the Brazilian and world wide markets. The extracted fluid are used in many different processes, one of them is the energy generation in power plants. Therefore, it is need to be conditioned (specific conditions of temperature, pressure, purity, etc.) One of these processes is the separation of the dispersed phases separation. Meaning removing liquid droplets from a gas or vice versa. In order to do so, separator vessels are used. These vessels can the three phase (separation of water, oil and gas) or two phase (separation of water and oil, water and gas or oil and gas). In this paper a study of the internal components of the vessels identifying the application and purpose of each item. After this step a methodology was developed in order to choose and dimension separating vessels. Two cases were focused, two-phase separator and three phase separator with boot. From this method, an example of two-phase dimensioning was showed and a real three-phase separator was evaluated. It was concluded that the three phase separator attended to the requirements and that the use of a boot was correctly chosen. Although, the control times for controlling the water levels in the boot were too high, not condemning the vessel but a smaller boot could have been chosen
