METHOD FOR REDUCING PRESSURE OF FLUIDS AND DEVICE SUITABLE FOR SAID PURPOSE Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B01D19/00 

FIELD: technological processes.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to method and device of pressure reduction. Device and method for reducing pressure of fluid medium containing liquid phase, gas phase and solid phase, which involves passing a fluid medium, pressure of which is to be reduced, via multiple stages connected to each other in series by means of first lower connecting inserts, wherein each stage has a pair of vertical channels, connected to each other in upper part by means of second upper connecting inserts, fluid moves upwards in first channel of each stage and downwards in second channel of each stage, wherein in first channel of each stage part of fluid pressure energy is converted to gravitational potential, wherein in second channel part of gravitational potential is converted into thermal energy, wherein volume ratio between gas phase and liquid phase is higher than 0.01 gas phase is removed from stream.

EFFECT: reduced pressure of certain fluid medium.
