Gas-liquid Phase Separators in Metal and Plastic

All too often the feed into a mass transfer column is not exclusively liquid or gaseous but a mixture of gas and liquid. If the phases are not separated outside the column a special design is needed to separate the phases inside the mass transfer column. Owing to the evaporation of a portion of the liquid due to pressure reduction during feed into the mass transfer column, the mean volume flow of the feed and thus the velocity in the feed pipe increases. The structures listed below must therefore permit effective phase separation despite high feed velocities.
