| Summary: | The quality of the natural gas extracted from deposits
and transported through pipelines is a major factor in achieving the
desired heating properties of the gas. A big problem related to the
quality is the presence of impurities such as dust, sand or water. These
can be removed by using separators. This paper presents an analysis of
the efficiency of a cyclone-type separator in terms of speeds and
pressure drops, using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method
in the case of separating water droplets from the main gas flow. |
