Abstract
Abstract In a gas treating device liquid is pressurized in a liquid chamber and is fed from this chamber into ejectors which open directly into venturi fittings which are surrounded by a gas chamber. Gas enters through an inlet into this gas chamber. A gas-liquid mixture enters from the venturi fittings into a tank, where the gas is separated from the liquid. Liquid from the tank is fed through a pump into the liquid chamber. Gas escapes from the tank into a discharge line comprising a de-mister.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A gas treating device comprising: a liquid chamber, several nozzles connected to said liquid chamber for receiving liquid from said liquid chamber, several venturi fittings, one venturi fitting for each nozzle, each nozzle having an outlet at a distance in the range from 5 to 100 mm from a smallest cross-section of the venturi fitting into which it opens, said nozzles thus forming with said venturi fittings ejector venturi fittings, a gas chamber surrounding the nozzles, an inlet to said gas chamber for bringing gas into said gas chamber, a tank into which said venturi fittings open, a separator of gas and liquid at the entry of said tank, a first outlet at the top of this tank for evacuating gas from this tank, a de-mister to which said first outlet is connected, a second outlet at the bottom of this tank for evacuating liquid from this tank, a line connecting the second outlet of this tank to an entry of said liquid chamber, a heat exchanger in said tank and connected to a space outside this tank, and a pump in said line.
