Zusammenfassung:A gas-liquid separation enhancer includes a plurality of longitudinally extending turning vanes distributed within a bent conduit section. At least a portion of the vanes have a bend that redirects a portion of a flowing gas stream from an initial direction to a final direction. Each of the vanes have a first end and a second end and are positioned in the bent conduit section to direct a portion of any liquid contacting the vanes to either the first end or the second end when the gas-liquid separation enhancer is incorporated into an outlet conduit. The separation is positioned in an outlet conduit such that captured liquid droplets are returned to the vessel from which they originate.
