METHOD FOR SEPARATION OF A LIQUID FROM A GAS AND THE DEVICE FOR ITS REALIZATION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B01D3/32 B01D53/18 

FIELD: gas-production industry; oil-producing industry; other industries; methods and devices for separation of a liquid from a gas.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the methods for separation of a liquid from a gas and to the design solution of the devices for distribution of the gaseous and the liquid flows along the cross-section of the apparatus and separation of the liquid from the gas flow, which may be used for the processes of separation, absorption, rectification in the gas-production industry, oil-producing industry and in the apparatuses for realization of the similar production processes. The method of separation of a liquid from a gas includes: the radial feeding of the mixture into the body of the apparatus, its distribution along the cylindrical wall with the subsequent division into the radial flows directed to the axis of the apparatus and passing into the axial flows. The radial flows are divided into jets, separate them from the liquid on the surfaces located along the wall, then additionally distribute in the cross section of the apparatus. Separation of the radial flows from the liquid conduct on the vertical porous components, using which the liquid is diverted into the still bottom unit of the apparatus below the mixture feeding. The device for realization of the method of separation of the liquid from the gas includes the perforated shell established inside the body of the apparatus opposite to the gas inlet fitting pipes with a clearance to the body overlapped by partition in its upper part. On the shell opposite to the perforation there are the vertically orientated rows of the porous volumetric components overlapping the channels of the perforation. The clearance between the shell and the body and the top of the shell are overlapped by the semi-dead plate with the gas passage fitting pipes connected with the internal cavity of the shell. The shell in its lower part has the water lock or is partially overlapped. It is made out of out the plane components closed by the body of the apparatus. The invention allows to increase efficiency of the separation and to reduce ablation of the liquid.

EFFECT: the invention ensures the increased efficiency of the separation and reduction of the liquid ablation.
