Full-scale performance tests of four types of gas-liquid separators are reported. They have indicated that a cyclone-type separator can have a catch-efficiency rate which approaches 100%. The tests were prompted by recurring condensate formation in a gastransmission system. Preliminary findings indicate that the condensate troubles resulted on several occasions from separators which failed to meet manufacturers' performance specifications on catch efficiency under operating conditions.
