  • In-line swirl vortex separator
    Patent number: 11097214
    Abstract: An in-line swirl vortex separator to separate solids, liquids, particulate from a vapor stream. The swirl vortex separator includes a swirl element and a vortex element. The vortex element creates pairs of vortices that are substantially equal and opposite in direction.
    Type: Grant

  • Vane-type separator
    Patent number: 8444732
    Abstract: A vane-type separator with pockets for removing solid and liquid particles entrained in a gaseous stream. Vanes are fabricated from a plurality of modular components which may be assembled to form vanes of varying lengths. The vanes include pockets with rounded leading edges to encourage particulate to impinge on the vane and move into the pockets by surface tension and aerodynamic forces. The vane-type separator allows for a higher gas stream velocity before particulate is found downstream of the vane-type separator.

  • VANE-TYPE SEPARATOR
    Publication number: 20100326025
    Abstract: A vane-type separator with pockets for removing solid and liquid particles entrained in a gaseous stream. Vanes are fabricated from a plurality of modular sheet metal components which may be assembled to form vanes of varying lengths. The vanes further include pockets with rounded leading edges to encourage particulate to impinge on the vane and move into the pockets by surface tension. The device allows for a higher gas stream velocity before particulate is found downstream of the vane-type separator.
