ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for handling a fluid stream containing gas, liquid and solid particulate matter, which fluid stream issues from a conduit at a high velocity, such as from a geothermal well during the drilling, producing, testing or treating of the well. The fluid is passed first through an expansion conduit comprising a series of axially-aligned sections of increasing cross-sectional area and then through a vertical separator for particulate matter and noxious materials. Means is provided for injecting a treating material into either the conduit leading from the well to the expansion-conduit, the expansion conduit or the vertical separator.
