ABSTRACT:
A gas-liquid separator or slug catcher includes an inlet flow diverter for disposition in a separator vessel wherein the flow diverter includes a generally cylindrical inner wall member and a cylindrical cap having a depending wall spaced from and surrounding the inner wall member. The cap includes a transverse top wall which is spaced from the top edge of the inner wall to provide an overflow path for surges of liquid and/or gas. An inlet conduit extends to a tangential opening formed in the inner wall member for introducing fluid into an interior chamber. The inner wall member includes a transverse bottomplate which is provided with a series of openings around its periphery. Slugs of gas and two-phase liquid flow in a vortical manner in the diverter chamber whereby the gas is separated from the liquid mixture and some de-emulsification of liquid is accomplished through centrifugal forces. Deswirled liquid exits the apparatus through a bottomplate under the gas-liquid interface in the separator vessel. In an alternate embodiment of the apparatus, a series of circumferentially and longitudinally spaced perforations are formed in the inner wall member and the depending wall of the cap member.
