Abstract
A method of treating a gas containing liquid substance, including the steps of separating liquid substance from the gas, sending the gas from the separating step to a cooling step, then, in the cooling step, cooling the gas to a temperature below the onset of solidification in the liquid substance, wherein the improvement includes removing a remaining amount of liquid substance, which remains in the gas following the step of separating and which collects in the step of sending, before such remaining amount reaches the step of cooling and accumulates as solidified liquid in the cooling step, where it would contribute to a clogging of the cooling step.
