  • Blade and skirt assembly for directional gas cleaning and drying system
    Patent number: 6468321
    Abstract: A blade and skirt assembly for a directional gas cleaning and drying system which is typically installed in a gas pipeline for removing solid and liquid impurities from steam or a process gas such as natural gas in the pipeline. The directional gas cleaning and drying system is typically characterized by a vertical, cylindrical gas vessel having an annular interior adsorption surface. In a preferred embodiment, the blade and skirt assembly of this invention includes multiple, angled vortex blades extending horizontally outwardly from a central cone-shaped blade hub, with the edges of the vortex blades attached to the adsorption surface. A cone-shaped dispersal skirt of the blade and skirt assembly is typically fitted with multiple, radially-extending gas flow vanes and typically attached to the blade hub.
