  • Gas/liquid separation system used in a hydrocarbonconversion process
    Patent number: 7303733
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a gas/liquid(s) separation system constituted by three different sections: a primary separator (1) for flows with a G/L in the range 0.1 to 10; a secondary separator (2) for flows with a G/L in the range 10 to 50; a system (3) which limits the formation of a liquid vortex; where G/L is the ratio of the gas to liquid mass flow rates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 26, 2003
    Date of Patent: December 4, 2007
    Assignee: Institut Francais du Petrole
    Inventors: Christophe Boyer, Abdelhakim Koudil, Thiery Gauthier

  • Gas/liquid separation in a hydrocarbon conversion process
    Patent number: 6645369
    Abstract: A gas/liquid(s) separation system is constituted by three different sections: a primary separator (1) for flows with a G/L in the range 0.1 to 10; a secondary separator (2) for flows with a G/L in the range 10 to 50; a system (3) which limits the formation of a liquid vortex; where G/L is the ratio of the gas to liquid mass flow rates. The separation system is suitable for the separation of gas and liquid from a hydrocarbon conversion process, e.g. a hydrotreatment process.
