FLUID MEDIUM FLOW DIVIDER (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC E21B43/34 

FIELD: oil and gas production.

SUBSTANCE: fluid medium flow divider facilitating uniform distribution between parallel process lines and separation consists of inlet port, of dividing plates and at least two outlet ports. A pipeline to the inlet port has sufficient length for at least partial separation of fluid medium transported through the pipeline and for uniform distribution of fluid medium through section area of the pipeline. Also, lighter constituents flow along an upper section of the pipeline, while heavier ones flow along a lower section of the pipeline, The dividing plates are arranged vertically and/or horizontally for dividing the flow into at least two less flows after the flow divider.

EFFECT: improved flow separation.
