Gas diffuser BCE-EFQ

In many plants there is a problem of bad gas distribution, entering (or leaving) a separator vessel. We can design and supply Inlet Diffusers, to allow the installed internals to work properly, new or retrofit. The Inlet Diffuser can be a specially designed array of deflector plates, directing the gas in 2 or more directions, or sometimes a pipe device is sufficient, directing the gas away from a direct path to the exit, thereby allowing time for the gas flow to spread and equalise over the vessel. Inlet Diffuser Major Benefits: Remove high liquid loads & mild inlet foaming Spreads the incoming gas flow pattern evenly Can reduce vessel size (height or length) Can de-bottleneck an existing separator vessel without re-entraining sump liquid As shown in Fig 1 below, there are many ways to arrange a vane or demister in vertical and in horizontal vessels. The velocity of the incoming gas and the distance from the inlet to the filter are critical for good performance. Fig 2 shows different vessel arrangements, fitted with Inlet Diffusers.
