【 摘 要 】

The article is devoted to the description of the theoretical foundations of the work of a new type of vortex three-phase separators for hydrocarbon processing plants. The expediency of using vortex flows in the technology of three-phase separation to improve the reliability of pumping and compressor stations is substantiated. The principle of operation of separators with a variable cross-sectional area of the working space and an inter-ring drain of the liquid is presented. A theoretical description of the hydrodynamic conditions for the separation of multiphase flows is given. A scheme for the installation of hydrocarbon feedstock processing using a three-phase vortex separator is proposed.
