Abstract
A system for removing liquids from a fluid stream having a mixture of gas and liquid phase components comprises a flare stack riser configured to couple to a gas flare module. A liquid collector has an input port, an internal cavity, and an output port. The input port is configured to receive a fluid stream, the fluid stream comprising gas and entrained liquid. The input port being further configured to direct the fluid stream into the internal cavity. The internal cavity being configured to separate at least a portion of the entrained liquid from the fluid stream and to permit the gas to exit through the output port. The output port being formed integrally with the flare stack riser.

A system for removing liquids from a fluid stream having a mixture of gas and liquid phase components, the system comprising:
- a flare stack riser configured to couple to a gas flare module;
- a liquid collector having an input port, an internal cavity, and an output port;
- the input port being configured to receive a fluid stream, the fluid stream comprising gas and entrained liquid;
- the input port being further configured to direct the fluid stream into the internal cavity;
- the internal cavity being configured to separate at least a portion of the entrained liquid from the fluid stream and to permit the gas to exit through the output port;
- and
- the output port being formed integrally with the flare stack riser.
A portable gas burner system, comprising:
- a support structure;
- a gas flare module coupled to the support structure;
- a flare stack riser coupled to the a gas flare module and the support structure;
- a liquid collector having an input port, an internal cavity, and an output port;
- the input port having an s-shape and being configured to receive a fluid stream, the fluid stream comprising gas and entrained liquid;
- the input port being further configured to direct the fluid stream into the internal cavity;
- the internal cavity being configured to separate at least a portion of the entrained liquid from the fluid stream and to permit the gas to exit through the output port;
- and
- the output port being welded to the flare stack riser.
