Definitions
- FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a known multiphase fluid handling system.
- Baffles 104 are provided in the walls of inner chamber 107 to allow for sudden increases in liquid to spill over into the gas stream and mix with the gas. Thus a sudden increase in liquid flow is slowed down by using some of the gas still in the slug suppressor to reduce the liquid volume.
- Atomizing nozzles 105 at the lower end of the liquid chamber atomize the liquid and spray it into the gas flow downstream of a tapered portion 109 of the gas flow path. The atomized liquid and gas streams continue to flow through conduit portion 106 .
- a typical slug suppressor and atomizing device is available from Framo Engineering AS.
- a flow mixer may include counter swirling vanes or counter rotating vortices.
- Speed or torque control helps make centrifugal compressors and expanders more robust, thus increasing reliability and reducing maintenance cost in wet services by designing the system to better manage a liquid slug and multiphase flow. This could be applied in all types of centrifugal compressor and expander applications where liquids are present or potentially present in the process, including well head services, subsea compressors or expanders, LNG expansion, wet gas compressors and other upstream and downstream processes.
- Embodiment A Apparatus for compressing a multiphase fluid comprising:
- Embodiment D The apparatus of any of embodiments A-C, wherein the driver for the compressor is an electric or gas motor, gas or steam turbine, expander, hydraulic turbine.
- the driver for the compressor is an electric or gas motor, gas or steam turbine, expander, hydraulic turbine.
- a plurality of atomizing nozzles located at the end portion of the first chamber.
- Embodiment H Apparatus according to any of embodiments A-G, further comprising a recycle conduit connected at one end to the output of the compressor and at its other end to the first conduit.
- Embodiment L The apparatus of embodiment K, wherein the atomizing device is a flow mixer that includes at least two counter swirling vanes or counter rotating vortices.
- Embodiment CC The apparatus of embodiment AA or BB, further comprising an electric or gas motor, gas or steam turbine, expander, hydraulic turbine or other driving device to provide power to the compressor.
