SepraSol™ Liquid/Gas

The Answer to Gas Filtration Applications

Clean, aerosol free gas is critical to equipment reliability and optimized operations in the refinery and chemical industries. Pall's SepraSol™ liquid/gas coalescers provide high-efficiency liquid and solid removal from contaminated gases reducing maintenance and operating costs. A patented chemical surface treatment enhances the coalescer drainage properties leading to improved performance allowing for smaller systems, lower pressure drop, and improved ability to recover from liquid slugs.

Pall's high-efficiency SepraSol coalescer is recommended for a wide range of gas filtration applications, including:

Protecting compressors and turbines

Protecting low and ultra-low NOx burners by cleaning fuel gas

Removing lubrication oil, water, compressor wear products, corrosion products, and other solids from effluent gas streams

Minimizing foaming tendencies in sweetening and dehydration units

Minimizing amine and glycol losses downstream of gas sweetening and dehydration units

Cleaning dirty fuel gas and instrument gas

Controlling injection well plugging during gas flooding

Protecting catalysts, desiccants and absorbants

Removing lube oil from ammonia gas

Coalescer Technical Information

Oleophobic/Hydrophobic Treatment– All of Pall's SepraSol liquid/gas coalescers receive a patented oleophobic/hydrophobic treatment. Chemically treating the coalescer lowers the surface energy of the medium and promotes rapid drainage of the coalesced liquids. Benefits of the surface treatment include increased capacity for liquid challenges, smaller overall assembly sizes, lower pressure drop, and improved ability to recover from liquid slugs.

Features, Advantages and Benefits of the Pall SepraSol Liquid/Gas Coalescer

Pall’s SepraSol liquid/gas coalescers eliminate virtually all solids and liquids in a gas stream. Downstream liquid levels are as low as 0.003 ppmw1 and the solids removal rating is 0.3 micron (μm) (99.99% efficiency).2

Pall Corporation applies a patented oleophobic/hydrophobic chemical treatment on all of its SepraSol liquid/gas coalescers. This allows the coalescers to operate at a lower saturated pressure drop. As shown on Figure 1, a small difference in saturated pressure drop can result in significant savings in operating costs.

About Coalescer Efficiency Ratings

The measurement of the efficiency and the pressure drop of a coalescer should reflect operating conditions. Many manufacturers of coalescers measure efficiency using the dioctyl phthalate (DOP) test. The DOP test was not originally designed to measure the performance of a coalescer under operating conditions seen in the oil and gas industry. Rather, the DOP test is performed under the following conditions:

Measures only capture efficiency and does not indicate how much liquid is at the filter outlet. It is the outlet concentration, which will indicate whether downstream equipment and processes are vulnerable to damage.

Measures only the percent removal of DOP aerosols that are 0.3 μm compared to a range of sizes normally seen in oil and gas applications.

Measures the removal of DOP, a liquid not typically found in oil and gas applications.

Performed under a vacuum, not typical of operating conditions.

Performed on a dry coalescing element; the effectiveness of a coalescer should be measured when a coalescer is completely saturated.

Pall has developed a test called the Liquid Aerosol Separation Efficiency (LASE) Test to specially measure the performance of a coalescer under operating conditions. The table below compares the LASE and DOP tests. For further details on the LASE test, see Pall literature GAS-4300b, "Recent Developments in Performance Ratings of Gas/Liquid Coalescers."

Pall LASE Test vs. Conventional DOP

 Pall LASE Test DOP Test LASE Advantage

Efficiency Rating Measures ppmw of total downstream aerosol concentration Measures only the capture efficiency of 0.3 μm DOP aerosols Specifies performance based on total liquid removal

Test Contaminant Polydispersed 20 wt. compressor lube oil (size range 0.1-1.0 μm) Monodispersed dioctyl phthalate (size range at 0.3 μm only) Closely simulates actual process contamination

Downstream Contaminant Measurement Full flow membrane sampling of all size contaminants Indirect light scattering of 0.3 μm contaminants Directly measures the amount of all liquid downstream

Pressure Conditions Performed under positive pressure conditions Performed under vacuum More closely reflects actual process pressure conditions

Cartridge Condition Performed on a saturated cartridge Performed on dry cartridge Reflects actual process cartridge service

Pressure Drop Measurement Measures operating saturated cartridge pressure drop Measures dry cartridge pressure drop Provides a more realistic service pressure drop
