Despite the initial seperation and preperation of the transported well output from the gas and gas-condensate fields, several complications occur during the transportation of the production to the stations of refining or to the customer. These complications during the transportation lead to the serious issues, therefore their solution and management are of great importance.

The paper reviews the reasons for formation of liquid phase in a pipeline, analyzes its physical-thermodynamic essence and negative effect on the operation of pipeline as well.

To eliminate the pressure pulses while filtration of multi-phase systems, the ways of keeping the natural gas in aerosol-disperse state were studied. With this purpose, a special pipeline construction is considered and the efficiency of proposed pipeline element is experimentally justified.
