The MERLINGas cyclone separator is an innovative and patented separation technology that protects on-line analyzers from liquids, solid particulates and oily mists in the sample.
The MERLINGas design offers optimal separation even at a very low gas flow rate (from 30 l/h).
Without using any filter element (sintered stainless steel, micro-fibre or fabric), the MERLINGas effectively separates liquid and solid particulates (up to 10 microns) from the gas stream by a vortex effect and centrifugal force. Indeed, the difference of density between gas and solid particulates / liquids provides separation.
These separated particulates flow axially downwards out of the separator. The dry and clean gas sample exits from the top side of the separator to the analyzer.
Applications
- Measurement in Syngas.
- Measurement after scrubbing.
- Sample pre-conditioning with fast loop.
- Mass balance with condensate recovery pots.
- Separation of fine particulates such as powder.
- Measurement in corrosive environments.
Advantages
- Keeps sample integrity.
- Operates from an inlet flow of 30 l/h.
- Removes particulates up to 7750 kg/m3 and greater
than 10 microns.
- Eliminates oily mists to protect measurement devices.
- No filter element means no risk of clogging or early fouling .
- No maintenance.
- Use in pressure on fast loop and in vacuum with condensate
collector.
- Can be used in series for very dirty samples.
- Stress testing carried out by TUV.
