Abstract

A high-efficiency secondary cyclone separator used in combination with a high-efficiency primary separator produces a gas stream having low liquid content in gas for a feed stream having either a high or low liquid loading. A high surface area to volume coalescing material is combined with the secondary cyclone separator to create a more efficient gas-oil centrifugal separator system.
