| Summary: | Natural gas is becoming more and more a commodity in the global energy
consumption. New technologies like the conversion from gas to liquid,
contribute to this. But more than 16 % of the currently known global gas
reserves cannot be produced due to severe CO2 and/or H2S contamination: (CO2
> 10% and H2S> 5%). The traditional technology of amine treatment is not able
to economically remove these contaminants. The objective of this article is
to investigate the possibilities of centrifugal separation to resolve the
problem. After analyzing the existing situation, in the centrifugal
separation of natural gas, some innovations in separators design and theory
are suggested. The aim of the presented theoretical considerations is that
the complex theory of separation to adapt to the needs of engineers engaged
on the design, development and operation of these devices. [Projekat
