Type 100H Horizontal Vane Separators
for removal of liquids from
Natural Gas 
Process Gas 
Steam 

The Type 100H Horizontal Vane Separator is a 2-phase separator that removes mist and other entrained liquids from natural gas, process gas, or steam.  Liquid particles 8-10 microns and larger are removed, providing clean dry gas for the protection of compressors, turbines, meters, and other equipment in refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, and natural gas facilities.  The design of the Winston/Royal Guard vane separator provides high efficiency over a wide range of flow.  The vane separator is an excellent choice when installed as an inlet gas separator, process gas separator, or steam separator.

Principle of operation:  As gas enters the separator, liquid slugs fall to the bottom of the vessel while the moisture-laden gas flows toward the vane separator internal.  Mist and entrained liquid particles are then separated from the gas due to changes in flow direction as the gas passes through the tortuous path of the corrugated vane plates.  Gas flowing through the vane is able to follow the changes in direction, however, inertial impaction causes liquid particles to separate as they are heavier and cannot 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 separator.  Clean, dry gas exits the separator’s outlet.

• 2 phase separation.
• Removes 99.9% of liquid particles 8-10 micron size and larger.
• High turndown ratio - effective operation over a wide range of flow.
• Removes small solid contaminants suspended in the liquids.
• Stainless Steel vane construction for a long operating life.
• ASME code stamped and National Board Registered.

Along with specific customer requirements some of the many options available are:

• Custom nozzle orientation
