We utilize a double pocket vane for our vane separators and scrubbers. Vane Separators are designed to remove liquid particles from a vapor stream with high efficiency and low pressure drop. The liquid particles are captured and removed through rapid changes in direction through the vane flow profile. The liquid drops are too large and dense to make the quick zig-zag flow pattern and impact the vane blade wall, where a liquid film sheet is created, then channeled into the pockets away from the vapor flow path to be separated. These separators can be designed for either horizontal or vertical orientations. Common styles of vane separators are:
Vertical Gas Separator, VGS
Horizontal Inlet Separator, HIS
Vertical InLine Separator, VLS
Horizontal Gas Separator, HGS
Horizontal 3-Phase Separator, H3PS

Centrifugal Separators have been used across the industry dating back to 1950s. They are a dependable solution, especially if you aren’t sure what is coming down the pipeline. We have developed multiple devices for these applications and have experienced continued success in difficult applications over our company’s history, including multi-cyclones and mono-cyclones. Multi-cyclones are fixed devices and depending on the flow range will determine how many of these devices are installed within a separator. On the other hand, mono-cyclone separators only incorporate one centrifugal device whose size and design changes with the flow rate specified. Our mono-cyclone is our SinTrifugal Device. This device if often used in suction pulsation bottles to act as a last chance separator prior to the process entering the compressor cylinders. The removal efficiency of any centrifugal device is directly related to the radius of curvature; a smaller radius will provide higher centrifugal forces, while a larger device will impact less forceful movements onto the flow. Contrarily, you cannot simply reduce the device radius to achieve overall separation performance; there is a balance between these separation forces and re-entrainment limits. Our devices have proven results and are based on industry familiar designs. These separators can be designed for either horizontal or vertical orientations. Our SinTrifugal Separators are commonly used on suction pulsation bottles for final separation prior to compression. Popular centrifugal separator configurations are:
Vertical Multicyclone Separator, VMC
Vertical 2-Stage Multicyclone Separator, VMC2
Horizontal Axial Recycle Separator, HARS
Horizontal SinTrifugal Separator, HST
Vertical SinTrifugal Separator, VST
Vertical SinCyclonic Separator, VSS

Filter Separators are one of the more common equipment configurations found in the industry today. These are utilized when higher efficiency for separating smaller particles are required. They are commonly used on suction stages for compressors and fuel gas applications, where clean gas is necessary. The typical configuration of this equipment incorporates filter cartridges in the inlet chamber to provide for solid separation and liquid coalescing. The downstream device is often a vane type mist extractor to remove the larger coalesced liquid droplets exiting the filters. This equipment is provided in both horizontal and vertical orientations. Configurations are:
Vertical Filter Separator, VFS
Horizontal Filter Separator, HFS

This is our most efficient separator series and are used where ultimate efficiency for separating sub-micron particles are required. Whereas the separators mentioned above can handle inlet liquid loading measured in gallons per minute (GPM), the elements within this separator are much more sensitive and should only be subjected to liquid flow rates measured in gallons per day (GPD). Please note, this liquid limit is based on contaminants reaching these elements. As such, these separators may incorporate other high-efficiency devices within the inlet or knock-out chamber. Our preferred configuration incorporates an inlet multicyclone bundle capable of handling considerable liquid loads. Because of the flow dynamics and utmost performance requirements, these units are typically designed and offered in only vertical orientations.
Configurations are:
Vertical Reverse-Flow Coalescer, VRC

A common separator used throughout the Oil & Gas industry is a Slug Catcher. This equipment is designed to handle large intermittent liquid flow rates that occur as a result of the source of the process, liquid accumulation in low-points in pipelines, or during maintenance procedures such as pigging. These liquid rates are often times 500
A common separator used throughout the Oil & Gas industry is a Slug Catcher. This equipment is designed to handle large intermittent liquid flow rates that occur as a result of the source of the process, liquid accumulation in low-points in pipelines, or during maintenance procedures such as pigging. These liquid rates are often times 500+ GPM cases. This is not only a process separation challenge, but the forces during these events must be considered in mechanical design and integrity. Some of the configurations listed below have already been included in our high-efficient separator categories above; as such these separators are capable of handling liquid slug rates, while also performing highly efficient separation (i.e. 5-10 microns). We also provide Knock-Out Slug Catchers whose primary purpose is to provide bulk separation (i.e. 100-500 microns). Given the liquid rates and degassing retention requirements for these applications, sometimes it is more economical to design the slug catcher as a Knock Out and provide downstream separation equipment that does not have to consider the liquid slug rates. This varies depending on overall system design as well as application parameters considered; we make our clients aware of these details and consideration. These separators can be designed for either horizontal or vertical orientations. They are offered in following configurations:
Vertical Gas Separator, VGS
Horizontal Inlet Separator, HIS
Horizontal 3-Phase Separator, H3PS
Vertical 2-Stage Multicyclone Separator, VMC2
Vertical Knock-Out Separator, VKO
Horizontal Knock-Out Separator, HKO
