ABSTRACT:
A liquid/gas separator for removing entrained liquid from a gas stream is mounted in the wall of a liquid holding tank and extends at least partially within the tank. The separator includes a gas circulation pathway and has a plurality of inlets through which the gas stream enters the circulation pathway. The inlets are arranged to impart a curved direction of flow to the gas stream. A fluid collection plate extends from the gas circulation pathway and is in fluid communication with it. The liquid collection plate is conical and provides a path of decreasing radius for the gas stream. The swirling motion of the stream over the collection plate causes a major portion of the liquid to separate from the gas and collect on the plate surface. The liquid collection plate has an opening formed therein through which the liquid can drain into the tank. The gas stream flows from the liquid collection plate upwardly through a mist elimination chamber preferably filled with an adsorbent demister material and passes to the open atmosphere.
