Filter Separator / Coalescer

1.Product Overview

Filter Separator / Coalescer is a pressure vessel system designed for the efficient removal of fine liquid droplets and solid particles from natural gas streams.

It is commonly used in gas processing systems where higher filtration efficiency is required to protect downstream equipment and ensure gas quality.

2.Function & Purpose

The primary function of the filter separator is to remove entrained liquids, oil mist, aerosols, and solid contaminants from the gas flow.

By providing fine filtration and liquid coalescence, the system helps prevent fouling, erosion, and performance degradation of downstream equipment such as compressors, dehydration units, metering systems, and control valves.

3.Typical Configuration

A typical filter separator consists of a pressure vessel fitted with replaceable filter elements and coalescing cartridges, along with liquid collection and drainage sections.

The system can be configured as a vertical or horizontal vessel and is often supplied as a skid-mounted package for ease of installation and maintenance.

4.Applicable Gas Sources

Filter separators are suitable for various natural gas sources, including:

• Pipeline natural gas

• Wellhead gas

• Coalbed methane

• Shale gas

They are widely applied in gas processing, compression, dehydration, and metering systems where high gas cleanliness is required.

5.Design Features & Advantages

• High-efficiency removal of fine liquid droplets and solid particles

• Multi-stage filtration and coalescence for improved gas quality

• Replaceable filter elements for convenient operation and maintenance

• Flexible design for different pressure ratings and flow capacities

• Skid-mounted options available for compact layout and easy integration
