ABSTRACT:
Multiphase fluid flow, such as gas and water, is controlled to provide splitting the flow from a supply conduit into one or more branch conduits with a predetermined gas-to-liquid ratio in the branch conduits by providing a flow mixing device interposed in the main conduit at the intersection of the main conduit with the branch conduits and a variable area orifice provided by a sleeve type closure member to effectively regulate the gas-to-liquid ratio entering the branch conduit. Gas to liquid ratios may be varied by providing the branch conduits as swivel connections to the main conduit so that the entry portion of the branch conduit may be oriented vertically upward or downward or at a selected position in between. Gas-to-liquid ratios may be measured by flowmeters and differential pressure gauges located upstream and downstream of the intersections of the branch conduits with the main supply conduit or manifold.
