Natural Gas Filter Technology • Separator Filters • Vertical and Horizontal Coalescent Filters • Single and Combined Cyclone Filters • Filtering Elements • Pressure Classes 150/300/600 and 900 • Quick Openin

ApPLICAtions • Compressor Protection • Gas Turbine Protection - Prevents corrosion, erosion and inner walls scaling. • Compressor Discharge - Removes submicronic solids and lubricants from the gas stream. • Pressure Reduction Plants (ERPM) - Protects the plant as well as the measuring and control equipment, besides ensuring gas quality. • Drying Columns and Molecular Sieves - Protects the desiccants and the screen beds from compressorgenerated contaminants, such as: lubricants, glycol and amines. • Gas Heater Protection (Gascat exclusivity) - Attenuates piping wear improving thermal...

Cartridge type separator filters The cartridge or basket type separator filter with a filtering grade 3, 5, 10, 20 micra or larger, using cellulose membrane and phenolic resin or steel screen (pressure over 600#) as the filtering media is largely applied in solid/gas separation, preventing and retaining gas flow fines. Such abrasive particles (corrosion, scaling, silica, sulfites, etc) cause irreversible damages to compressors, turbines, meters, regulators and piping. The pleated cellulose membrane has a large filtering area, which allows longer life to the filtering media, greater solid...

Natural gas, during the production, transportation and distribution processes, besides containing solids circulating in the flow, also has liquids in several phases, which also cause equipment damages. Such liquid contaminants are lubricant oil, water, condensed material, amines, glycol, corrosion inhibitors and/or a mix of these products. Retention or separation of fine liquids and solids contained in natural gas requires a specific technology matching inertial impactation processes, when the flow direction changes due to barriers resulting from the filtering element or filter geometry,...
