Construction Materials

Fibres:

• Chemical resistant fi breglass

• Polyester

• Carbon fi bres

Cages:

• Stainless steel

• Carbon steel

• Special alloys

• FRP

• Plastics (PP, PVDF, PTFE)

Characteristics

• Separation by brownian diffusion of

droplets and impingement on the fi bres

• Micron-size fi bers placed between two

concentric cylindrical cages

• Very dense packing

• Mostly made in one piece

• Standing or hanging elements

• Secured with bolting

Typical Applications

• Sulphuric acid plants

• Lube oil vent from compressors

• Digesting of wood pulp

Benefits

• Extremely high liquid removal effi ciency

(submicron level)

• Unlimited turn-down capabilities without

effi ciency loss

Construction Materials

microns in diameter)

• Low pressure drop

• Suitable for applications where solids or

sticky and viscous liquids are present

• Can be used in both vertical and horizontal

gas fl ow

• Suitable for higher liquid and gas loads

Construction Materials

• Stainless steels, Duplex steel

• Special alloys

Characteristics

• Ensures that the feed enters the vessel in the most ideal manner

• Reduces the feed momentum

• Made out of sections

• Secured with bolting

Typical Applications

• Compressor suction drums

• Two- and three-phase separators

• Knock-out drums

• TEG contactors

Benefits

• Prevents liquid shatter

• Evenly distributes the gas over the vessel area

• Avoids re-entrainment

• Enhances pre-separation of bulk liquid
