Type 100V Vertical Vane Scrubbers 
for removal of liquids from
Natural Gas 
Process Gas 
Steam

The Type 100V Vertical Vane Scrubber efficiently removes liquid slugs from natural gas and separates mist and entrained liquid particles from natural gas, process gas, or steam.  With the offset nozzle design and vane internal, liquid slugs and liquid particles 8-10 microns and larger will be removed, providing clean dry gas to protect compressors, turbines, meters, and other equipment. The vertical design also offers a smaller footprint for applications where space is limited.  The design of the Winston/Royal Guard vane separator offers high efficiency over a wide range of flow.

Principle of operation: When gas enters the scrubber through the lower nozzle, liquid slugs fall to the bottom of the vessel while the gas flows upward toward the vane separator internal.  As the gas passes through the tortuous path of the corrugated vane plates, inertial impaction causes mist and entrained liquid particles to separate out of the flow as they are heavier and unable to change direction with the gas.  Impinging on the vane surfaces, liquid particles become enlarged through coalescence as they travel along these surfaces and collect in the vane’s hooks.  The hooks are installed vertically and strategically placed at turns in the vane plates so as to intercept the liquid.  The collected liquid moves down these hooks and falls to the bottom of the vane.  A small diameter pipe (down-comer) moves the collected liquids to the bottom of the scrubber housing for drainage.  Clean, dry gas exits the scrubber’s outlet.

• 2 phase separation.
