CA 2621923

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.

L'invention porte sur un procédé visant à améliorer la condensation et la séparation dans un séparateur de fluide. Selon ce procédé, un mélange de fluide est accéléré à une vitesse transsonique ou supersonique dans un col de canal d'écoulement, le mélange de fluide étant, par conséquent, dilaté et refroidi de sorte qu'au moins certains composants initialement gazeux deviennent sursaturés et se condensent; au moins certains composants condensés sont retirés du mélange de fluide du canal d'écoulement à un point aval du col, et la condensation d'au moins certains composants sursaturés est améliorée par l'éclairage du mélange de fluide s'écoulant dans le canal par un source de rayonnement (10), telle qu'une source de lumière ultraviolette (UV), qui excite et/ou ionise et induit la condensation du mercure, de l'eau, des hydrocarbures aromatiques, du dioxyde de carbone, du sulfure d'hydrogène et/ou d'autres composants, formant ainsi des noyaux de condensation pour d'autres composants de fluide sursaturés.
