Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS61153107
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The present invention is a centrifuge method and apparatus for separating the components of a stream, particularly a wellstream. Centrifugal force is used to separate solid and liquid components from gaseous components, and the combined action of centrifugal force and countercurrent flow is used to separate a first liquid, such as crude oil, from a second liquid, such as water. In addition, the combined action of centrifugal force and countercurrent flow can be used to separate a heavy gas, such as carbon dioxide, from a light gas, such as hydrocarbon gas.
