PCT No. PCT/GB85/00043 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 23, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 23, 1985 PCT Filed Jan. 29, 1985 PCT Pub. No. WO85/03544 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 15, 1985.A liquid/gas separator apparatus capable of being taken to a required location and sunk into position adjacent a submerged gas pipeline for separating intermittent slugs of liquid from gas in the pipeline includes at least one hollow elongated separator pressure vessel (3) having at least one inlet (4, 4a), for receiving from the pipeline, liquid/gas to be separated, at least one gas outlet (6, 6a) for discharging separated gas to another pipeline, and a plurality of liquid outlets (7) for liquid separated from liquid/gas in the separator vessel. Several hollow elongated liquid accumulator pressure vessels (8) are substantially rigidly interconnected, in spaced side-by-side substantially co-planar relationship, either by lateral pipes (9) or by a collector pipe (23) extending substantially horizontally at a lower level than the bottoms of the accumulator vessels (8) and connected to each accumulator vessel (8) by upwardly extending connecting pipes (24). Each accumulator vessel (8) is substantially rigidly connected to the liquid outlets (7) of the overlying transversely substantially horizontally extending separator vessel or vessels (3), by upwardly extending drain pipes (10). The drain pipes (10) and the lateral pipes (9) or connecting and collector pipes (24, 23) structurally link, and provide fluid flow communication between, the vessels (3, 8) for liquid accumulation and liquid level equalization purposes. |
