Provided are gas processing facilities for the separation of components in a gas stream and methods of using the same. The facility includes one or more co-current contactors. Each contactor includes a mass transfer vessel having a mixing section. The mixing section receives a gas stream and a liquid contacting stream. The mixing section mixes theses two streams and releases a two-phase flow. Each contactor also includes a separator that receives the two-phase fluid stream from the mass transfer vessel in-line, and then separates a vapor phase from a liquid phase. The separator has a gas-phase outlet configured to release the vapor phase as a treated gas stream, and a liquid-phase outlet configured to release the liquid phase as a loaded treating solution. The contactors may be used to remove water or other contaminant from a natural gas stream or other gas stream.

A system and method for separation of liquids and gases within a multiphase fluid are provided herein. The method includes flowing a multiphase fluid into a circular distribution header of a multiphase separation system and separating the multiphase fluid into gases and liquids within the circular distribution header. The method also includes flowing the gases into a circular gas header that is above a plane of the circular distribution header and flowing the liquids into a circular liquid header that is below the plane of the circular distribution header. The method further includes flowing the gases out of the multiphase separation system via a gas outlet line and flowing the liquids out of the multiphase separation system via a liquid outlet line, wherein entrained liquids within the gas outlet line are flowed to the liquid outlet line via a downcomer.
