What is a coalescing filter? Coalescing filtration or Coalescing gas separators are designed specifically for the removal of mist, fogs, and dust from gas streams. These contaminants usually exist with the bulk of the particles having diameters considerably less than 10 microns; therefore, standard separators or scrubbers are not capable of effectively removing these minute […]

Coalescing gas separators (or coalescing separators) are designed specifically for the removal of mist, fogs, and dust from gas streams. Standard separators cannot remove these small, minute contaminants in the gas stream because particles are usually less than 10 microns. A coalescing gas separator consist of a vessel, combining specially constructed coalescing elements and a […]

How to prepare oil and gas processing for winter Why is winter hard on production and processing? Two words; hydrate formations. Hydrates are crystals formed when water and gas are combined in a low temperature and high-pressure environment. They become more prevalent during colder ambient temperatures. During the colder ambient temperatures, water vapor will begin to condense which can cause […]
