To the best of the Inventor's knowledge the prior art did not contain a meth od and apparatus for causing liquid slugs within a gas pipeline to become dissipated. In the instant invention a secondary gas pipeline is constructed which runs in parallel with the primar y gas pipeline and which secondary gas pipeline is of an appropriate size and configuration tha t a liquid slug passing through the primary gas pipeline will tend to divide and partially enter the secondary gas pipeline, and while in the secondary gas pipeline will substantially become transformed into a two phase flow one phase of which is gas and the other phase of which is liquid, and wherein when the gas phase in the secondary gas pipeline re-enters the primary gas pipeline it will tend to cause the dissipation of any liquid slugs in the primary gas pipeline at the point of re-entry.
