SMALL HIGHLY EFFICIENT CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR WITH ANTI-HYDRATE PROTECTION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B01D45/12 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention is intended for separation of gas and liquid phases in the field of centrifugal forces with identical extent of separation both at high and low gas (air) factor. Separator comprises vertical cylindrical body; horizontal cover; inlet, outlet, drain nozzles; deflector installed along with rotation of gas-liquid flow; vertical separation packet with flat bottom made of flat bent separation plates that form slot channels in zone of overlapping; false bottom; accumulating tank. In the centre of separation packet flat bottom and false bottom there are through holes arranged, in which hollow cylinder is inbuilt. Inside accumulating tank there is a perforated cylinder inbuilt, closed with cover on top, inside of which there are vertical plates arranged radially relative to vertical axis of accumulating reservoir and heated with passing-by gas flow. Central hole in upper cover of perforated cylinder is connected to lower edge of hollow cylinder, upper end of which passes through hole in flat bottom, being arranged above it in zone of lower pressure.

EFFECT: prevents generation of hydrates without application of steam jackets, electric heating.
