Abstract

A separator for treating gas carrying entrained water and hydrocarbon liquid comprises a horizontal vessel (2) and a vertical vessel (7). Liquid level in the horizontal vessel is controlled so that the horizontal vessel is substantially filled with liquid. Gas with entrained liquid particles enters the vessel (7) via an inlet diffuser (10) which directs the inlet flow downwardly within the vessel (7). Gas and entrained liquid particles then flow upwardly past the diffuser (10) through an agglomerator (14) into a multicyclone bundle in which liquid and solid particles are removed. Within the horizontal vessel aqueous material separates to the bottom of the vessel and is removed via an outlet (16) whilst hydrocarbon material flows over a weir (17) and is removed via an outlet (15).
