Abstract
A gas liquid separator comprises an elbow into which is inserted a fishbone shaped impingement device comprising downward sloping vanes, the vanes preferably attached to a central spine within the elbow. The vanes may have an opening along the length thereof, and a bottom lip to channel accumulated liquid to one or more collection points, preferably the elbow internal wall. The device is robust, of simple construction, and exhibits relatively low pressure drop.
