Filter Separators are used for filtering solid and liquid from gas.
A filter separator works in 2 stages. The first stage uses a special filter with the dual function of filtration and coagulation to filter heavier solid and liquid impurities from the gas stream. In the second stage, these coagulated particles will then be filtered off by mesh pads. Separated liquid is stored in a liquid collector.

The filter separator uses a cartridge having a “filtering-coalescence” function to ensure higher working performance.

Operating Principle:

When the gas enters the separator, the heavy liquid and the solid particles will collide with one another. This will generate a centrifugal force which forces the heavy particles to dissociate from the gas, which are then collected at the bottom of the separator. Finer suspended particles will enter the second stage of removal with vane or mesh pads, resulting in the emission of clean and dry gas.

Technical Parameters:

• Production standard: GB150 or ASME VIII-1
• Container material: carbon steel, stainless steel
• Cartridge material: ultramicro glass fibre, polyester, polypropylene, nylon, etc
• Filtration accuracy: 5μm for liquid, 3μm for solid
• Filtration efficiency: 99%~99.5%
• Mounting mode: horizontal or vertical

Application:

Filter separator is widely applied in natural gas, chemical engineering, petroleum and refining plants as well as other kinds of gas processing such as:

• Natural gas purification
• Compressor inlet/outlet
• Turbine inlet
• Fuel gas
• Gas storing establishment
• Contacting towers
• Metering and pressure regulating station
• City gas distribution system
• Protect downstream equipment
