Description

The first stage consists of a wire mesh coalescing pad which results in droplets larger than 4 microns to coalesce into droplets larger than 10 microns; the second stage removes droplets larger than 10 microns with 99% efficiency. As with all our centrifugal separator designs, the patented vortex containment plate prevents re-entrainment of the separated droplets and particles after separation.

The mesh layer may require periodic cleaning or replacement, necessitating a flanged body design with stud/nut or swing-bolt closure. Coalescer separators are constructed to ASME code for unfired vessels, Section VIII, Division 1. An ASME stamp and CRN registration can be provided.

Coalescer separators are used in applications where fine mists are encountered in processes involving cooling, condensation, flashing or evaporation. Examples include removal of water or oil from refrigeration gases, steam heated evaporators, compressed air prior to a desiccant dryer bed, high pressure gas at injection wells, fuel gas lines to engines in power and industrial plants, natural gas distribution lines and regulator stations.
