Filter Separator Design

Filter Separator Design

Filter Separator Design

(OP)
Hello everyone,
I'm working in a project where I need to restore a 1979 filer separator (54"ID, nom thk 1-3/4, lgth 15ft, SA-516-70, Div 1, horizontal, manufacturer does not exist anymore). As part of this project I must determine the flow capacity of this filter-Separator, so I'm looking for a procedure for designing Filter-Separators that would give an idea of this vessel capacity. Can anyone provide me with a guide to design horizontal filter/separators or an author reference?
 

RE: Filter Separator Design

Filter seps were sized by the vendor based on elements.  You could use the the standard separator equations and use .2 for K.  Or get a copy of the old Smith tables that say you seperator is good for 300MMSCFD at 500 psig.
