ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an improved gas-liquid separator for separating natural gas from naturally-occurring liquid constituents emitting from natural gas wells. The separator comprises a hollow pressure vessel having a tangential inlet line for the combined mixture located in a medial region of the vessel, and upper gas outlet and lower liquid outlet lines. A packing column located in an upper region comprised of a plurality of hollow cage-like non-interlocking plastic elements such as polypropylene contained between an apertured baffle plate and a mist-separator plate to obtain superior wetting of the liquid components of the mixture for their separation from the gas. The separator is capable of maintenance-free automatic operation over substantial periods of time measured in years.
