S3

slug suppression system, composed primarily of a computer with software which monitors the pressure and liquid level of a gas-liquid separator, and well as the liquid and gas flow rates, and then directs the opening and closing of the gas and liquid control valves in response to the above using a strategy that not only suppresses or eliminates severe slugging without gas blow-down, but also controls the liquid and gas outflow of transient slugs during normal production and start-up
