TYPE 31L-CLC/L1 COALESCING GAS-LIQUID SEPARATORS

Droplet separators 99% efficient for droplets >10 microns

31L-CLC (L1C) separator specifications


Fully welded pressure vessel fabricated to ASME Code Section VIII Division 1 with stamp, has no serviceable/moving components, requires zero maintenance.  This is a two-stage design with the 1st stage coalescing droplets larger than 5 microns in diameter into droplets larger than 10 microns in diameter with a coarse mesh pad.  The 2nd stage is per the standard design where the combination of indirect pathway, inertia and gravity separate droplets larger than 10 microns in diameter with 99% efficiency.  This separator design is more costly than a standard 31L/L1 design due to the flanged body, a requirement in case the mesh pad requires cleaning or replacement.

Separates entrained droplets and particles larger than 5 microns in diameter with 99% efficiency

Maximum separation rate is equivalent to 5% of its maximum rated mass flow capacity when installed horizontally and will NOT separate slugs of liquid; 20% when installed vertically for a downwards flow path and will separate slugs of liquid.

The separator size required is based upon the required vessel length and diameter and not necessarily the corresponding inlet and outlet pipeline size; thus, we size the nozzle to match the pipeline for which it is installed into. Typically manufactured from pipe, they can be fabricated from rolled plate; standard materials include carbon steel, 304L SS and 316L SS although they can be fabricated in other alloys when required. Customizations include support legs, additional ports and non-flanged connections.
