HRT Radial Spin Separator

For gas flow in any direction

The HRT Radial Spin Separator is an in-line unit that uses centrifugal spin to separate droplets form the gas stream. It is a versatile design which is used in applications where plugging may be a problem.

Advantages:

Þ High liquid capacity

Þ Gas flow can be in any direction, including down-flow

Þ Retrofits easily in existing ductwork

Þ Suitable for vacuum and pressure processes

Þ Non-plugging, maintenance-free operation

Þ No moving parts

Materials of Construction:

Þ Metals: 304, 316 stainless steels, carbon steel;

Þ Plastic: FRP and Thermoplastic lined FRP;

Þ Available in any fabricatable material

Operating Range:

Þ Face velocity: 6-12 m/s; special types up to 15m/s.

Þ Limit drop size: 25+ microns, depends on gas flow

Þ Capacity: 2000 – 200,000 ACFM

Þ Performance data shown in curves is f(face velocity) at standard gas density (1.2 kg/m3) Actual performance is based on actual process data.

(Conversion: 1m/s ~ 200 ft/min; 1 mbar ~ 0.4” WG)

Applications:

Used in gas streams containing “dirty” droplets which cause plugging or rain-out, and where maintenance-free operation is essential.

Þ Protection of ventilation fans; paper machine exhausts

Þ Collection of entrainment from scrubbers, especially with particulate loading; reactors; blow tanks (pulp); evaporators; steam vents; general process gas cleaning;

Þ Elimination of droplet rain-out – stack mounted

Application Bulletins:

Available on request

We supply:

HRT Separator complete with all necessary accessories (spray, hatch, pre-separator etc.): coupled with system fan; also stack for rain-out types.

Principle of Operation:

Specially designed static spin vanes in the inlet throat induce a high velocity spin which separates the

droplets from the gas by centrifugal force. The droplets collect in the separation chamber and drain from the

separator body.
