Device and method for treating a gas/liquid mixture

摘要

The present invention relates to a device for treating a gas/liquid mixture, comprising: -an upright vessel (1) with a lower and upper compartment; -an inlet (2) for admitting the flow of mixture into the lower compartment; -an agglomerating unit (10) placed between the lower and upper compartment for enlarging the liquid droplets in the mixture; -a lower outlet (4) for discharging the substantially liquid-containing mixture part from the lower compartment; -an upper outlet (5) for discharging the substantially gas-containing mixture part from the upper compartment; characterized by -collecting means (11) for collecting on the downstream side of the agglomerating unit liquid droplets which have broken through the agglomerating unit; -recycling means (12) for recycling the collected liquid to the lower compartment from the collecting means.
