Type I Inline separator is a single stage straight through gas flow vessel that can be fitted with a number of vane type separators depending upon the removal efficiency, liquid loading and can be fitted with a coalescing pad for higher removal efficiency at smaller droplet sizes or for optimizing gas flow distribution.

The gas stream flows straight through the separator and the liquid is collected in a bottom sump section and then drained though piping to the bottom of the vessel. For access purposes the vessel can be opened using a flanged dish head type construction.

Wash systems

The inline separator can be equipped with wash-systems for services that require online cleaning. The illustration above shows a typical upstream nozzle arrangement that cover the entire separator surface. Wash systems can be operated continuously or discontinuously, whatever the process requires.

Design code

The inline separator Type I is typically coded according to

• ASME Section VIII Div.1
• EN 13445:2015

Other design rules can be applied on special request.

Performance data

The removal efficiency of the inline separator is typically 10-20µm, 99.9%. When using a coalescer pad, the removal efficiency can be improved

The pressure loss is typically very low and depends on the choice of internals.
