Abstract

A cyclone separator 102 comprising a housing 104 defining a longitudinal vortex chamber 107, an inlet 105, and a first phase outlet 112 spaced from the inlet 105 in the longitudinal direction of the vortex chamber 107. A second phase outlet 114 disposed radially inwardly of the first phase outlet 112 is also included as a means for imparting a rotational flow 106, 108 within the vortex chamber 107. A solid-walled core element 110 arranged within the vortex chamber 107 defines a flow passage between the core element 110 and the housing 104, and core element 110 extends in the longitudinal direction of the vortex chamber 107. Core element 110 tapers to a tip in the direction from the first phase outlet 112 towards the inlet 105 such that the area of the flow passage defined between the core element 110 and the housing 104 decreases in the direction towards the first phase outlet 112. The second phase outlet 114 comprises a port in the core element 110 at a position at or adjacent the tip. A separator with a second phase outlet and an associated modular package is also disclosed. The cyclone separator, separator and modular package disclosed are discussed as being potentially used for de-oiling cyclones and de-gassing filtration in the field of off-shore oil and gas production.
