An apparatus combines streams from different pipelines having different flow rates, concentrations, and pressure. The junction comprises a directed vortex formed by a conically-shaped enclosure having a closed base with one pipeline inlet through the base at the axis of the cone. Another higher pressure inlet is positioned on the periphery of the cone near the base and at a tangent to the covered cross-section at the point of entry. The high pressure inlet is also at an angle to the cross-section and directed toward the outlet at the apex of the cone. A fluid dewatering apparatus may be attached to the outlet to maintain a predetermined concentration in the case where one or more inlets contain a slurry. |
