    The document summarizes different types of natural gas filters, including separator filters (cartridge and cyclone types), coalescent filters (horizontal and vertical), and provides details on their applications, designs, materials, advantages, and specifications needed for proper selection. Key filter types are cartridge separator filters that use cellulose membranes or steel screens for solid/gas separation, cyclone filters that use centrifugal forces for high solid/liquid retention, and horizontal/vertical coalescent filters that use inertial and diffusional techniques to separate liquids from gas.

    Cartridge type separator filters


    The cartridge or basket type separator filter with a filtering grade 3, 5, 10, 20 micra
    or larger, using cellulose membrane and phenolic resin or steel screen (pressure
    over 600#) as the filtering media is largely applied in solid/gas separation,
    preventing and retaining gas flow fines. Such abrasive particles (corrosion,
    scaling, silica, sulfites, etc) cause irreversible damages to compressors, turbines,
    meters, regulators and piping.
    The pleated cellulose membrane has a large filtering area, which allows longer life
    to the filtering media, greater solid retention capacity and, therefore, offers the
    customer saving advantages.
    The filters are built in carbon steel, classified as per ASME/ASTM, and include
    internal partitions that keep dirt from falling into the discharge pipe upon changing
    the filtering element. The mobile inner pieces are SS 304 made, corrosion resistant,
    which ensures total chemical and mechanical compatibility for natural gas
    applications.
    The filter and filtering element designs are compliant to applicable non-turbulent
    flow, therefore, the discharge loss is minimum, not interfering in the other
    equipment placed after the filter.
    The filtering media are 100% Brazilian made and available to regular supply,
    allowing for quick response to customer needs, preventing heavy and useless
    replacement inventories.
    Metallic screen filtering elements supporting larger pressure loss, washable, can be
    assembled upon request to our engineering department.

    Cyclone type separator filters


    Single and combined
    Cyclone filters w ork under a centrifugal sys tem and are specif ically
    indicated and designed f or separ ation of s olids and liquids found in
    large conc entrations in gas f low s.
    Cyclones design and construction ensure solid and liquid filtering with
    a high retention level and effective drainage for gases with high
    contaminant contents. The filter application ensures a gas flow free of
    solid and liquid particles, which usually cause serious damages to gas
    equipment, in addition to damaging piping as well as other metering
    and controlling equipment.
    The single cyclone filters are highly efficient to control particles over 10
    micra, however, in some applications the need arises for smaller
    particle retention, and for this kind of application Gascat has developed
    a line that matches, in one single housing, cyclone filtering and then
    finer filtering with micronic or coalescent elements, providing a solid
    and liquid-free gas.
    The combination of these filters allows for smaller facilities and saves
    time during stoppage and servicing operations. The single cyclone
    filter elements do not need to be changed or cleaned, as they are
    designed and built in one single welded and fixed structure, allowing
    for a simple, safe and cost-effective operation.
    Meters, liquid level gauges, pressure valves and switches as well as
    other fixtures may be supplied upon demand.

    Coalescent filters
    Horizontal and vertical
    Natural gas, during the production, transportation and distribution processes, besides
    containing solids circulating in the flow, also has liquids in several phases, which also cause
    equipment damages.
    Such liquid contaminants are lubricant oil, water, condensed material, amines, glycol,
    corrosion inhibitors and/or a mix of these products.
    Retention or separation of fine liquids and solids contained in natural gas requires a specific
    technology matching inertial impactation processes, when the flow direction changes due to
    barriers resulting from the filtering element or filter geometry, and diffusional interception,
    which retains and glues liquid particles, to later separate them by gravity.
    The filter and element drainage speed control optimizes the filter and separation efficiency.
    The horizontal and vertical Gascat coalescent filters have filtering elements that gather the
    above-mentioned techniques, allowing for great operation functionality, and include design
    details that enable quick and complete drainage of the coalesced contaminants.
    The perfect balance among filter size, element number, element type and drainage speed
    will enable filtering of 99.98% of the particles greater than 1 micron.
    The quick opening system, requiring one single operator, allows for easy servicing, offering
    significant savings in stoppages for cleaning and replacement of the filtering elements.
    The equipment may be supplied with instruments, meters, gauges and valves, which will
    ensure a fully automated and safe liquid drainage.
