Double-Barrel Horizontal Separators

a double-barrel horizontal separator, which is a variation of the horizontal

separator. Double-barrel horizontal separators are commonly used in
applications where there are high gas flow rates and where there is a
possibility of large liquid slugs, e.g., slug catchers. Single-barrel horizontal
separators can handle large gas flow rates but offer poor liquid surge capabilities.
The double-barrel horizontal separator partially alleviates this shortcoming. In
these designs the gas and liquid chambers are separated.. The flow stream enters the
vessel in the upper barrel and strikes the inlet diverter. The gas flows through the
gravity settling section, where it encounters the baffletype mist extractors en route
to the gas outlet. a cutaway view of At double-barrel separator fitted with a baffle-

Filter Separators
Another type of separator that is frequently used in some high -
gas/lowliquid flow applications is a filter separator. They can be either horizontal
or vertical in configuration. Filter separators are designed to remove small liquid
and solid particles from the gas stream. These units are used in applications where
conventional separators employing gravitational or centrifugal force are ineffective.a

section cause coalescence of any liquid mist into larger droplets as the gas passes
through the tubes. A secondary section of vanes or other mist extractor elements
removes these coalesced droplets.
