The separation between liquid and gas occurs due to the change of stream direction and velocity. The inlet stainless steel vortex generator creates a circular motion. The liquid droplets adhere to the walls of the separator travel to the bottom, and are drained off. The dry gas passes along the center of the separator to the outlet.
A properly selected device provides a 98-99% efficiency of separation.
The separators are installed on the pipelines, which may be directed horizontally or vertically.
Depending on the applicatoions, the separators are manufactured from carbon steel, stainless steel, or other materials. The separators are designed and constructed in accordance with ASME Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Civ. 1.
If requested, the separators are quipped with a slight glass for visual inspection of liquid drainage, a safety valve, and a pressure guage.
