Title: In-line auger developed to remove free gas from production well fluids
Text: "Down Hole Gas/Water Separation: Cyclotech has developed an in-line auger (gas/liquid separator) that is designed to remove a major portion of free gas from production well fluids. The result is a dryer gas which is easier and cheaper to lift to the surface because there is less frictional and heat pressures produced by dense liquid phases (Cyclotech). This auger is advertised as small, light-weight, and low cost compared to conventional separators."
