HYDROCYCLONE SEPARATION PLANT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: separation equipment, particularly, systems of oil gathering and treatment at oil fields. SUBSTANCE: hydrocyclone separation plant has process vessel with hydrocyclone, pipeline for supply of gas-liquid mixture, pipeline for gas withdrawal, and pipeline for liquid withdrawn. For increase of efficiency and amount of liquid coming from plant, hydrocyclone is made conical and installed on process vessel in vertical position so that outlet of cone is located in vessel cavity. In this case, pipeline for gas withdrawal from hydrocyclone and pipeline for gas withdrawal from process vessel are connected to common header accommodating drip pan with pipeline for return of trapped liquid to process vessel. Pipeline for gas withdrawal from hydrocyclone is steeply bent. Pipelines are used for separator washing. EFFECT: higher efficiency of plant. 2 cl, 1 dwg
