Liquid-Gas Coalescers

Liquid/gas coalescers can significantly decrease maintenance costs while maintaining the performance of processing equipment, such as compressors, turbines, burners, and expensive catalysts and desiccants over the traditional separators. The hydrophobic and oleophobic treatment in Pall's liquid/gas coalescer prevents sparging, allows rapid drainage, reduces vessel size, and increases flow capacity, making it recover very quickly from liquid slugs to withstand fluctuations in process conditions and save operating costs.

 

Why choose Pall’s Liquid/Gas Coalescer Separators?

The liquid/gas coalescer filter separators offer a range of benefits, including:

• Accelerated liquid drainage
• High liquid load handling capability
• Quicker recovery from high-volume liquid slugs
• Fewer element changeouts 
• Reduced saturated pressure drop
• Minimized vessel diameter due to fewer restrictions on annular velocity
• Consistent, high-efficiency liquid removal
• High solids removal efficiency
• Optimum protection of downstream equipment
• Less liquid losses
• Enhanced product consistency and quality
• Reduced capital, operating, and maintenance costs with increased uptime
• No need for upstream bulk removal equipment

The liquid/gas coalescers are used to remove solid and liquid contaminants from gas streams and are used in various applications in the oil & gas and chemical industries.

1. How are Pall’s Liquid/Gas Coalescers superior to the conventional separators?

Pall's liquid/gas coalescers can take care of high liquid loads with >1000 ppmv and reduce up to 90% of aerosols. The liquid/gas coalescing separators are chemically treated to recover very quickly from slugs of liquid and better withstand fluctuations in process conditions. The coalescers save operating and maintenance costs and maintain the performance of processing equipment over the traditional separators. 

 

2. Can Pall’s Liquid/Gas Coalescers filter aerosols as small as 0.01 microns?

Yes. Pall's liquid/gas coalescing separators can remove aerosols at a level as small as 0.01 microns from gases.

 

3. What are the benefits of hydrophobic and oleophobic treatment in the Pall Liquid/Gas Coalescers?

The hydrophobic and oleophobic treatment in Pall's liquid gas separators prevents sparging, allows rapid drainage, reduces vessel size, and increases flow capacity, helping it recover very quickly from slugs of liquid and better withstand fluctuations in process conditions.

 

4. What are the applications of Pall’s Liquid/Gas Coalescer systems?

Pall’s Liquid-Gas Coalescers are used in various oil & gas and chemical industry applications that demand efficient removal of aerosols from gas streams. Some of the primary applications include – 

• Compressor Protection
• Midstream Mol-sieve Dehydration
• Mole sieve protection
• Protecting low and ultra-low NOx burners by cleaning fuel gas
