... phase separation performance as compared to other types of T-junctions. Because of lower liquid take-offs, there will be less frequent downstream equipment tripping resulting in lower maintenance costs. Empirical correlations presented in this study can predict fraction of gas and liquid in the side arm...

.... Figure 1. Phase separation data representation Separation efficiency can be computed by evaluating the area under the curve. This method operates such as 0% separation efficiency can be assigned to the equal split line and 100% separation efficiency for horizontal axis with no liquid carryovers...
