Small-volume injectable solids operations

Depending on the kind of the substance they are designed to process, separators can be labeled as gas-oil separators and "gas separators (Fig. 2.1). Gas-oil separators are used for separation of oil from oil gas, and gas separators - for separation of natural gas from droplets of condensate, water, and solid particles. Gas separators, as a rule, process gas-liquid mixtures with a rather small content of the liquid phase. But they can also operate in the so-called flood regime (when a large volume of liquid enters the separator as a result of accidental injection of water or accumulation of condensate in pipes).
