Definitions
- reference number 1 indicates a cut out portion of a flowline 1 through which a subsea hydrocarbon production fluid is transported in a flow direction F from a production site located upstream, i.e. at the left hand side of the drawing, towards a sea-based or land-based host plant located downstream, at the right hand side of the drawing.
- Incorporated in the flowline 1 is a flowline section 2, having an upstream inlet 3 in flow connection with a downstream outlet 4.
- Inlet 3 and outlet 4 are non-coaxially aligned, connected through an angular flowline section 5.
- the flowline section 5 may be curved in alternative embodiments. From the inlet 3, flowline section 5 directs the production fluid to an impeller 6 from which the production fluid is discharged via the outlet 4, into the downstream length of flowline 1.
