Coalescing Natural gas filter with stainless steel outer tube

Description

The Process of Natural Gas Treatment / Filtration

In order to turn raw natural gas from its original contaminated state into the fuel gas needed for natural gas-fired power plants to run efficiently, both solid and liquid contaminants must be removed as part of a complete treatment. Here are the primary products and technologies used for his matter:
* Strainers. Simplex (or duplex) basket strainers are used as the first step for purifying natural gas in the pipeline: remove
large solid contaminants.
* Separators. These are used to separate large liquid contaminants (hydrocarbon oils, gels, and water) from the natural gas stream in the pipeline. In the separator vessel, the natural gas flow is forced to go through a series of devices (inertial
separators, vane packs, mesh pads) that turn the smaller liquid drops into large drops that are precipitated and collected in the bottom of the vessel to be removed later.
* Coalescer Filter. This is the last stage in the process of cleaning the natural gas. After going through the basket strainers
that remove the larger solid particles, and then the separator to collect most of the liquid particles, the natural gas will still contain fine contaminants. Now, the Filter Coalescer will remove solid and liquid particles down to 1micron sizes or less, with efficiencies of over 99.9%.
