glycol seperation
glycol seperation
(OP)
I was thinking of ways to get better efficiency from a filtration system (activated carbon)used on a glycol dehy unit. Knowing that the entrained hydrocarbons are usually removed with the carbon, I was thinking along the lines of building a hydrocyclone to possibly help knock out the heavier contaminants before the filter. What do you think?

I have developed a unit at this time which will clean a dirty(black) glycol dehy unit (700 gallon) back to clear in about 14 hours but it takes at least one change of filters in the field. I was thinking that if I could remove a greater amount of heavies through mechanical means then that would cut the load on the filter bed and other elements. Knowing that a centrifuge will take a power source, lots of space and moving parts, does any one think that a hydrocyclone will be as effective simply by using the pressure of the TEG pump and volume?

All the teg units I have worked on have a cartridge filter upstream of the activated carbon filter, to protect it, i dont see how a hydrocyclone could do a better job than the cartridge filter?
