ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed herein is an improvement in a continuous process for separating the gaseous phase from a hydrocarbon liquid containing carbonaceous particulates and gases wherein the liquid is fed to about the middle portion of a cylindrical separator, the gaseous phase is removed from the separator as an overhead vapor product, and a slurry comprising the hydrocarbon liquid and the particulates is withdrawn from the separator as a bottoms product. The improvement in question comprises: feeding the liquid tangentially to the separator; and maintaining a particulate-liquid slurry downward velocity of from about 0.01 to about 0.25 ft/sec in the separator; a solids W % in the slurry of from about 0.1 to about 30%; a slurry temperature of from about 550° to about 900°F; a slurry residence time in the separator of from about 30 to about 360 seconds; and a length/diameter ratio for the separator of from about 20/1 to about 50/1, so that the characterization factor, .alpha., defined as Image does not exceed about 48 Image . By adhering to the above processing conditions problems of coking and plugging may be avoided or entirely eliminated.
