Horizontal Dust-Liquid-Separator SNH

The vessel of type SNH is designed specially to separate solid and liquid particles out of large natural gas
streams. Usually the separator includes 3 stages, by using divided storage tanks, also large amounts of
water e.g. slugs, could be drained efficient.
Design is synchronised with the concrete application, position and size of the gas connections, separation
capacity and special features as quick opener, vane package or basic strengness calculation are carried out
to customer preference.
As an option, all necessary equipment could be offered and close to customers efforts delivered
complete prefabricated. So, differential gauges for filter check, level indicators with binary or analogue
output, pressure and temperature transmitters can be provided with the filter separator. Draining devices
electrical or pneumatic operated sump heating systems and complete prefabricated housing for equipment
and storage tanks are in the delivery program of h e a t . So turn key filtration and separation of natural gas
can be offered from one hand.

The advantages of the separators type SNH are:

-

effective filtering by coalescer-cartridges

low gas velocity between 2. and 3. step of separation
demister of stainless steel to separate liquids
quick-opener hand operated or with hydraulic and/or electr. drive
simple replacement of filter-cartridges by fast fixing device
low initial pressure loss

Structure and working method

The filter-separator type SNH is designed horizontally as a c-steel welded construction. It consists of 3 steps
for a comprehensive separation of solid and liquid particles. At the bottom a well designed storage tank
devided for the first/second and the third stage is situated.
First stage
Through the top or lateral situated gas entry flange, gas reaches the pre-separation section of the filterseparator. Here the gasflow is slown down and leaded direct over impact pipes. Heavier particles are fallen
down by gravity into the sump.

Second stage
Now the gas flows through the coalescer-cartridges which are especially suitable for wet gases. Gas is
leaded from the outside to the inner side so particles are restrained at the outside. Using this principle, the
filter elements are also agglomerating the mist to larger drops for better separation.

For easy and rapid filter changing, usually a quick opener with the diameter of the vessel is
situated. This quick opener could be fitted (optionally) with a hydraulic device. A swivel arm for the
quick opener and for the sump flanges are delivered as a standard.
The standard quick opener is designed as an teethed cover having a safety step before release the cover.
Opening is only possible after venting the filter separator by an additional release device. A robust sealing
profile protected by a slot in the flange body provides sure sealing. Different types and sizes of quick
openers are available upon request.
Dissembling/mounting of the filter elements can
be done easily by the special fixing system of
heat. The working is so, that a complete row of
filter elements will be fixed by a system
jamming the row to the wall of the vessel at
two points.
Each filter element is centred by a metal cap.
So the filter cartridges are positioned safety by
these spring loaded caps.
Third stage
The downstream liquid separation is done for example by means of a stainless steel vane. It consists of a
multiple number of closely spaced baffle vanes. This device is - acc. to the efforts horizontal or vertical
situated. The size of the vane is designed for a moderate pressure drop. Agglomerated drops are separated
from the gas stream and drained to the second section of the storage tank at the bottom.
Precipitation in the bundles of slats
The bundle consists of several angled slats, which provides for a very large contact surface. As a result of
the constant baffle action of the slats, the gas always contacts the surface of the moist sheets, and the
surface tension causes the liquid particles to adhere to them.

As a result, droplets form and grow and are blown into the traps by the gas flow. Depending on the
dimension of the precipitator and the specifications, the pressure loss will be just
5-40 mbar.
The vane and other built in devices are able to be pulled out of the body of the filter separator. So the space
and the inner surface of the separator can be checked easily by inspector during recur inspections.
Corrosion problems can be dedected early preventive corrosion protection is possible long before the
vessel is really damaged.
Hundred percent separation of the fluid components are provided for particles larger than 8 m.
High performance fluid separation starts with particles larger than 3 m.
