Compact, inline separation technology – what and why? - NTNU

Sleipner T – Scrubber Overload
• Scrubber overloaded with liquid due to a
very high gas velocity through the vessel (Kfactor
>0.2 m/s).
• Massive carry-over of condensate with the
outlet gas that is used to superheat the gas
to the amine absorbers.
• Solution: De-liquidiser to
remove the bulk of the
liquid condensate in the
feed stream prior to
entering the scrubber.
• This improves the
operating conditions for
the suction scrubber and
thereby the separation
efficiency.
