The invention relates to a method as well as equipment for smoothing out occurrences of long liquid plugs, so-called slugs, in fluid flows which comprise more than one phase. The invention is particularly intended for use in transport arrangements for oil and gas, namely multi-phase arrangements for the transport of mixtures of oil and gas. The equipment which is used (termed slug catcher) comprises, amongst other things, a vortex chamber (1) and an overlying pressure tank (2) which temporarily stores oil slugs and portions them out back into the gas flow so that the load on the transport equipment is smoothen out. |
