Abstract
A cyclonic fluid separator has a tubular housing (10) in which the fluid is accelerated and swirl imparting means (2) for inducing the fluid to swirl through an annular space between the housing and a central body (1) mounted within the housing (10), wherein a low pressure fluid (80) is injected through a central opening (82) in the central body (1).
Claims7
A cyclonic fluid separator with a tubular housing in which the fluid is accelerated and swirl imparting means for inducing the fluid to swirl through an annular space between the housing and a central body mounted within the housing, wherein a low pressure fluid (80) is injected through a central opening (82) in the central body (1).
A method comprising:
- separating a fluid mixture with a cyclonic fluid separator wherein the separating obtains a purified natural gas stream from a contaminated natural gas stream comprising solid contaminants, such as sand and/or other soil particles and/or condensable contaminants, such as water, condensates, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and/or mercury;
- and
- wherein the separating comprises injecting a low pressure fluid (80) through a central opening (82) in a central body (1) of the cyclonic fluid separator.
