Abstract
The present technology relates to methodologies, systems and apparatus for separating a liquid and a gas from a multi-phase flow stream. In particular, a gas-liquid separator having a curvilinear flow path sized is described. The flow path is designed to create a shift in the axial velocity of the primary flow field through the gas-liquid separator and generate a secondary flow field effect perpendicular to the primary flow field. The curvilinear flow path can minimize additional dispersion and provide improved efficiencies in fraction collection.
