Abstract: A multi-function separator provides a coalescing section for removal of entrained impurities in a process stream; an adsorbent section for removal of vapor contaminants; and a filter section for removal of particulate impurities. A process stream flows into longitudinal hollow centers of porous coalescer robes and radially out; through holes in a baffle; into an adsorbent section; through a redistribution baffle; into filters; and out through another redistribution baffle. The multi-function separator is designed so that the process stream flows transverse to the longitude of an elongate vessel. The fluid velocity within the coalescer section is equal throughout, so that localized high-velocity areas are avoided, thus preventing re-entrainment of a coalesced contaminant.
