Side stream filters - preferential flow without using a pump?

Side stream filters - preferential flow without using a pump?

Side stream filters - preferential flow without using a pump?

(OP)
Hi,

I am trying to understand side stream filtration.

Iv been finding it really hard to find out anything on preferential flow (multiphase) through a side stream using a valve to create a pressure drop (general info for my understanding)

Im trying to do this without the need for a pump as there is a high gas fraction.

What im trying to establish is whether or not I can install a side stream filter off a 6" pipeline using say a 1" OR 2" side stream (flexible hose) using an actuated valve to create a pressure drop to obtain some flow through the filter on the side stream.

Will the pressure drop across the filter affect the pressure drop required for flow through the side stream to the filter?

General pressure drop info would be appreciated

Thanks
