A cyclone 40 and gravity separator 52 combination is used in the separation of a multiphase source fluid into gas and liquid. A low density, generally gas, conduit 94 of the cyclone 40 outputs into an upper part 102 of a gravity separator chamber 52, and a high density, generally liquid, conduit 96 of the cyclone 40 outputs into a lower part 98 of the gravity separator chamber 40. The distribution of liquid and gas in the multiphase source may be erratic, in which case optimum cyclone operation conditions may not be met, and liquid may be present in the gas output 94, and gas present in the liquid output 98. The gravity chamber, using gravity separation, accommodates these fluctuations by further separation under gravity. The combination device may be more compact than the use of gravity chambers alone for separation, and addresses issues of variable inflow of source fluid in cyclones. |
