Abstract

See full text

A system for separating an input fluid flow comprising gas and liquid into separate gas and liquid flows is provided. The system includes a primary separator configured to receive the input fluid flow and to separate the input fluid flow into a primary separator liquid output flow and a primary separator gas output flow, a first secondary inline separator connected downstream from the primary separator to polish the primary separator gas output flow, a second secondary inline separator connected downstream from the primary separator to polish the primary separator liquid output flow, a system gas outlet, a system liquid outlet, a primary separator gas output valve on the primary separator gas output flow, and a control system configured to receive measurements of liquid level within the primary separator, and identify, using the received measurements, whether a position of the primary separator gas output valve is to be changed.
