TANK FOR REMOVING UNABSORBED GAS FROM A MIXTURE OF UNABSORBED GAS AND LIQUID

摘要

The present invention provides a tank for removing unabsorbed gas from a mixture of unabsorbed gas and liquid wherein in one embodiment of the tank compr ises: an inlet pipe which carries an unabsorbed gas and liquid mixture into the tank; a deflect ing means which is located at the exit of the inlet pipe so that when the unabsorbed gas and liq uid mixture strikes the deflecting means there is a rapid reduction of flow velocity of the mixture and a directional change of flow of the mixture; a separation chamber which is in the form of a fi rst cylindrical structure in which one end extends into a gas pocket and the other end extends i nto the mixture at the bottom of the tank past the deflecting means so that once the mixture hit s the deflecting means the less dense unabsorbed gas is directed generally upwards within the sep aration chamber wherein at the top of the separation chamber the unabsorbed gas passes into the gas pocket; a liquid retention chamber which is defined by the wall of a second cylindrical st ructure which is concentrically placed around the first cylindrical structure wherein the wall of the second extends upwards to a height below the wall of the first cylindrical structure and below the height of the mixture in the tank; and an outlet pipe.
