Separator For Multi-Phase Slug Flow And Method Of Designing Same

View page
US Patent:
7540902, Jun 2, 2009
Filed:
Nov 21, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/284304
Inventors:
Jose Oscar Esparza - Katy TX, US
George John Zabaras - Houston TX, US
Assignee:
Shell Oil Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
B01D 19/00
US Classification:
95243, 95253, 95260, 96182, 96204, 96215, 96184, 210537
Abstract:
A slug flow separator facilitates the separation of a mixture flow into component parts. The separator includes an upper-tier elongate conduit, a lower-tier elongate conduit and a plurality of spaced apart connectors. Each of the upper and lower-tier elongate conduits has an outlet and at least one of the upper and lower-tier elongate conduits has an inlet for receiving the mixture flow. The upper and lower-tier elongate conduits also each have a plurality of openings such that one connector of the plurality of connectors may interconnect one of the upper-tier elongate conduit openings with a one of the lower-tier elongate conduit openings. The connectors enable communication of at least one of a liquid component and the at least one of another liquid component and a gas component of the mixture flow therebetween.
