Filter Separator Housings
Definite and Reliable Protection for Gas Pipelines with Two-Stage Technology
As Dantechs Systems and Filter Solutions, we offer Filter Separator housings, one of the most common and reliable solutions, namely Filter Separator Housings. Filter separators are multi-functional systems designed to remove both solid particles and liquid aerosols/free liquids from the gas stream within a single housing, through a two-stage operation, with 99.98 per cent efficiency.
Based on your process’s flow rate, pressure, temperature and liquid-solid load data, we design filter separator systems that will deliver the highest efficiency for your facility.
The Principle of Two-Stage Perfect Separation
Our filter-separator housings completely trap contaminants in the gas in two separate stages:
- First Stage (Filtration and Coalescer): When the gas enters the housing, it first passes through the filter/coalescer elements. Here, all solid particles such as pipe scale, sand and dust are captured. At the same time, micro-sized liquid aerosols (mist and moisture) within the gas coalesce on these elements (through the coalescer effect) to form larger liquid droplets.
- Second Stage (Mechanical Separation): The liquids, which have become larger droplets, are carried along with the gas flow to the high-efficiency valve pack (vaned separator) or mesh pad (wire mesh demister) unit in the second stage. Here, as the gas changes direction, the liquids are completely separated from the gas by the impact and flow into the lower collection tank by gravity. The purified dry gas is then directed to the outlet line.
Flexible Configuration and Smart Hardware
- <\li>Horizontal and Vertical Design: Depending on your process requirements and the layout of your facility, we design our filter separators in either horizontal or vertical configurations. Horizontal models are generally preferred for lines with high liquid loads, as they offer the advantage of a large liquid tank.
- Advanced Sump Design: To prevent re-entrainment of separated liquids into the gas stream, the unit features specially compartmentalised, large-volume sumps located beneath the housing.
- Smart Automation Option: We can integrate level switches that continuously monitor the accumulated liquid level and smart discharge (dump) valve systems that automatically discharge the liquid from the system.
- International Certification: All our filter separator housings are manufactured in full compliance with ASME U -Stamp and PED CE pressure vessel standards.
