Abstract
A separator for a wet gas stream has an upper section having an outer peripheral wall, a top, and a bottom perforated baffle. A cone-shaped baffle is positioned on the perforated bottom baffle and extending toward the inlet in the top of the upper section. A spiral baffle has a bottom edge adjacent to the cone-shaped baffle and a top edge adjacent to the top of the upper section. The spiral baffle defines a curved flow path between the inlet and the outlet of the upper portion. A vortex flow section is defined by the cone-shaped baffle and the outer peripheral wall. The vortex flow section is fed by the curved flow path defined by the cone-shaped baffle. A lower section is below the perforated baffle. The lower section has a gas outlet and a liquid outlet.
