Gas-liquid separation with the rotational particle separator

Based on known Rotational Particle Separator design principles and fluid flow relations a natural gas - liquid separator is designed. A particular feature of this design is that the filter element is freely mounted in bearings and rotates, without the need of a motor, by introducing swirl in the fluid flowing towards the filter element. The design is particularly suited for operation under high pressures as the rotating filter element is fully contained within a cylindrical pipe. The shaft does not pin through the external wall, so no sealing is required
