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.
