A Cylindrical Coalescer filters two stage filter separator technology allows you to have the smallest possible vessel diameter, resulting in the lowest cost, while removing aerosol liquids and solid particles efficiently. The separator’s first stage contains replaceable BCE-GLF coalescing filters mounted on a tube sheet. Here the larger liquid particles and the solids are removed, while the aerosol liquid mist coalesces into large droplets (>10 microns). Some of these coalesced droplets fall off the filter but the majority are carried to the second stage. If there are solids present we can supply our BCE-GPF-CCF Pleated style cylinder. In the second stage, these large droplets are removed by a high capacity BCE-DPV Double Pocket Vane. (See ‘Vane Packs’ in the ‘FILTERS’ section)
Filter separators, and the orientation of the Coalescer Cylinders inside, can be vertical or horizontal (see images below). See also Becone Knitted Mesh Coalescers.
Cylindrical Coalescers Major Benefits to Oil Refineries :
Removes aerosol mist to protect downstream equipment from damage, fouling, pitting corrosion or deactivation of catalyst of molecular sieves
Reduces amine or glycol foaming problems by removing inlet solids and free liquid particles
Allows low cost vessel designs
Debottlenecks existing equipment, and adds up to 100% more capacity in an existing separator
