The baffle plates at the inlet remove a large amount of solid particulate matter and entrained liquids which are collected in the quiescent sump. The large sump area also provides for slug control. Use of the impingement baffle permits coalescer cartridges to function more efficiently in the removal of microscopic solids and the fine liquid entrainment. OPERATION Gas stream enter housing at point (A). Through the use of baffling at point (B), impingement of solid particulate matter occurs. A certain amount of liquid entrainment will drop out with solids and collect in quiescent sump. Mist and minute solids will flow upwards and enter coalescer cartridges, points (C). Oil mist particles will be coalesced and solid particulate matter will be removed. Gas stream will flow from inside-out. Coalesced droplets will be repelled by specially treated separator cartridges, point (D). Liquid will fall to bottom. An upper drain connection is available for this liquid to be removed at point (H). Gas stream will flow through separator cartridges (D) outside-in, and on through internal piping to outlet point (E).
