FIELD: oil and gas industry. SUBSTANCE: this article can be used in liquidation of gas and oil shows in process of drilling, well completion and repair of wells. Separating chamber is made in the form of enclosed space which embraces separator body and it is installed above hydraulic lock. Pipe union for delivery of gas-liquid mixture to separating chamber is mounted tangentially. Gas and liquid phases divided in separating chamber are taken away from this chamber into body space through respectively upper and lower pipe unions uniformly located along generating line of body. Installed in body at level of separating chamber is foam fire- suppressing unit which can be made as number of grates which cover over body cross-section. Installed in upper part of body are surface condensers which are presented in the form of slot-type labyrinth. Utilization of device allows for creation of more efficient and reliable separator due to isolation of main flow of gas-liquid mixture from gas flow which is taken apart in separating chamber. EFFECT: high efficiency. 2 cl, 5 dwg
