Gas contaminated by particles and liquid

Fuels and Chemicals

Coalescence - removal of a fine dispersed liquid phase
into a bulk phase (either liquid or gas)
Liquid/Gas coalescers - removal of liquid AEROSOLS +
solids from gas
Coalescence principle :
MECHANICAL separation
based on ability of the
coalescer media to combine
the droplets, and to
separate them.
NO chemicals required

Installation and Maintenance

Low maintenance costs

Automatic drains ( if needed)

Long life of Coalescers (> 1 year)
Fewer cartridges

Unlike conventional separators, efficiency is

not affected by reduced gas flow
Assemblies are manufactured to the safety
demands and specifications of individual
applications, natural gas plants/hydrogen
plants/ ammonia plants/ refineries..

Fuels and Chemicals

No definition - Catch-all term
which describes a material that collects in gas
piping and creates wear and reduce efficiency in
compressors, clogs instrumentation and valves and
leads to flow losses in long pipe lines
From chemical point of view primarily: iron and sulphur in different
molecular combinations (iron sulfides) + iron oxides + mill scale,
flush rust from hydrotest water

Measuring orifice,
coated with black powder
