Patent ID: 8808431

Claim:
A compact inertial separation system of a gas-liquid mixture comprising: a stratification device to stratify a multiphase fluid stream at an inlet; a cylindrical body in which gas-liquid inertial separation is performed; two outlet devices of separated gas and liquid streams which are respectively inserted on an upper base and lower base of the cylindrical body; wherein the stratification device includes a first pipe and a second pipe having a larger diameter with respect to the first pipe, the second pipe being connected by a connection gate to the first pipe, the second pipe being tilted with respect to the horizontal, an inclination and an increase in a section diameter between the two pipes inducing stratification of the multiphase stream; and wherein the stratification device is tangentially inserted on the cylindrical body, at a height with respect to the lower base; the height being a minimum that guarantees an efficient inertial separation of the stream already previously stratified in the stratification device.
