Efficiency

• What do People Mean?
• - Percent Removal Rate
• i.e.. 99, 99.5, 100
• - Total Removed by Count
• Of Total Particles Of A Certain Range
  
  or Minimum
  Size.
• i.e. 99 of all particles 10 microns and larger.
• i.e. 100 of all liquid particles 8 microns and
  larger, and 100 of all solid particles 8 microns
  and larger.

Andersons Vane Type Separators

• AVS - Inline vane Separator
• AVGS - Vertical Gas Separator
• AVB - Internal Boiler Drum Separator
• 100 Removal of 8 Micron Liquid Particles
• Pocketed Vane

Vane Designs

• GEN 1. AKA CHEVRONS - Now Used as Coalescer
• GEN 2. HOOK TYPE- Greater Liquid Retention
• GEN 3.- HOOK 2- Even Greater Liquid Retention-
  Higher? P
• GEN. 4- POCKET VANE - CURRENT ANDERSON DESIGN
• Lowest ? P of 2,3,4.
• Highest Liquid Removal
• Most Efficient Separation /FT2 SMALLER
  DIAMETER SEPARATORS

Vane Performance

• Standard Efficiency is 100 of 8? gt Liquids only
• Some Solids Entrained with Liquid OK-
  
  
  
  
  Consult Factory
• Addition of a Coalescing Mesh Pad Increases
  
  
  
  
  Efficiencies to 100 of 3? gt
• TURNDOWN IS EXCELLENT Down to 10 of
  
  
  
  
  Design Flow in Every Case

AVS Type In-Line Separators

• Custom Designed Per Application
• 100 of 8 ? Liquid
• Limited Solids - Pockets Can Plug
• Turndown ratio is 10 - 110 of
  
  
  
  
  Design Flow
• Vanes are 316 L SS Construction -
  
  
  
  
  Standard
• Removable Vane Design Available
• Increase to 100 of 3? With Mesh or
  
  
  
  
  Vane Coalesce
• Ideal For All Gas Processes
• No Slugging- 5 Maximum by Weight

AVGS Type Vertical Gas Separator

• Same Principle as The AVS
  
  
  
  
  Type Separator
• Primarily Used Where Liquid
  
  
  
  
  / Gas Ratios Exceed 5 by
  
  
  
  
  Weight
• Also Used For Slugs Or
  
  
  
  
  Where Liquid Hold Up Is
  
  
  
  
  Desired To De-gas Liquids

Double Single Vane Bank Separators

• Units Specifically Designed For Steam Drums
• Same Technology As Previous Vane Separators
• Single VS. Double Depends On Several Factors /
  
  
  
  
  Same Performance
• Turndown 10-110 of Operating Design Flow
• Custom Built Per Application
• 316L SS Vanes / CS Optional

Conclusion

• Separators are critical pieces of
  
  
  
  
  equipment for the smooth operation of
  
  
  
  
  most all processes.
• Different applications require different
  
  
  
  
  approaches, different styles of
  separators,
  
  
  
  and sometimes units in
  combination.
• IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET ALL THE
  
  
  
  
  INFORMATION CORRECT THE FIRST
