METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENHANCING CONDENSATION AND SEPARATION IN A FLUID SEPARATOR

A method is disclosed for enhancing condensation and separation in a fluid separator, wherein: - a fluid mixture is accelerated to a transonic or supersonic velocity in a throat section of a flow channel and thereby expanded and cooled such that at least some initially gaseous components become supe...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method is disclosed for enhancing condensation and separation in a fluid separator, wherein: - a fluid mixture is accelerated to a transonic or supersonic velocity in a throat section of a flow channel and thereby expanded and cooled such that at least some initially gaseous components become supersaturated and condense; - at least some condensed components are removed from the fluid mixture in the flow channel at a location downstream of the throat section; and - condensation of at least some supersaturated components is enhanced by illuminating the fluid mixture flowing through the flow channel by a radiation source (10), such as an Ultraviolet (UV) light source which excites and/or ionizes and induces mercury, water, aromatic hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and/or other components to condense thereby forming condensation nuclei for other supersaturated fluid components.
