Three-flow Vortex Tubes — Ecologically Significant Alternative to Burning of Oil-associated Gas on Torches

Abstract

The practical aspects related to application of three-flow vortex pipes in the systems of low-temperature separation of associated petroleum gas before its giving in the main pipelines are considered in this paper. The conclusion is drawn that due to the use of these pipes the extinguishing of field torches is becoming rather profitable, improving thereby the ecological situation while developing of oil fields.
