<p>Apparatus (10) for removing a gaseous fraction from a heated gas comprising a cooled air inlet (20) to condense the hydrocarbon to viscous liquid particles. An electrostatic field established between a point array (36) and a plate (38) propels the particles to a moving non-conductive collector belt (32) from which the liquid condensate is removed by a doctor blade (50) and deposited in a heated receiver trough (42). The liquid condensate is discharged from the receiver trough (42) into a container (54). A method comprises passing a heated gaseous, liquid droplet-containing stream through an electrostatic field which propels the droplets to a liquid collector (42), and removing the liquid from the collector (42), and discharging the liquid into a container (54) for disposal.</p> |
