Efficiency
What do People Mean?
- Percent Removal Ratei.e.. 99%, 99.5%, 100%
- Total Removed by Count % Of Total Particles Of A Certain Range or Minimum Size.
i.e. 99% of all particles 10 microns and larger.i.e. 100% of all liquid particles 8 microns and larger, and 100% of all solid particles 8 microns and larger.
Anderson’s Vane Type Separators
• AVS - Inline vane Separator
• AVGS - Vertical Gas Separator
• AVB - Internal Boiler Drum Separator
• 100 % Removal of 8 Micron Liquid Particles• Pocketed Vane Design
Vane DesignsGEN 1. AKA “CHEVRONS” - Now Used as Coalescer
GEN 2. “HOOK TYPE”- Greater Liquid Retention
GEN 3.- “HOOK 2”- Even Greater Liquid Retention- Higher P
GEN. 4- “POCKET VANE” - CURRENT ANDERSON DESIGN
• Lowest P of 2,3,&4. • Highest Liquid Removal• Most Efficient Separation /FT^2 = SMALLER DIAMETER SEPARATORS
Vane Performance• Standard Efficiency is 100% of 8 > Liquids only• Some Solids Entrained with Liquid OK- Consult Factory• Addition of a Coalescing Mesh Pad Increases Efficiencies to 100% of 3 >• TURNDOWN IS EXCELLENT: Down to 10% of Design Flow in Every Case
AVS Type In-Line Separators• Custom Designed Per Application• 100% of 8 Liquid• Limited Solids - Pockets Can Plug• Turndown ratio is 10 - 110% of Design Flow• Vanes are 316 L SS Construction - Standard• Removable Vane Design Available• Increase to 100% of 3 With Mesh or Vane Coalesce• Ideal For All Gas Processes• No Slugging- 5% Maximum by Weight of Entrainment

AVGS Type Vertical Gas Separator
• Same Principle as The AVS
Type Separator• Primarily Used Where Liquid
/ Gas Ratios
Exceed 5% by
Weight• Also Used For Slugs Or
Where Liquid Hold
Up Is
Desired To
De-gas Liquids
AVGS Type Vertical Gas
Separator
Double & Single Vane Bank Separators
• Units Specifically Designed For Steam Drums • Same Technology As Previous Vane Separators• Single VS. Double Depends On Several Factors / Same Performance• Turndown 10-110 % of Operating Design Flow• Custom Built Per Application• 316L SS Vanes / CS Optional
Required Information
• The Big Picture

Conclusion• Separators are critical pieces of
equipment
for the smooth operation of
most all processes.• Different applications require different
approaches, different styles of separators,
and
sometimes units in combination.• IT IS IMPORTANT TO GET ALL THE
INFORMATION CORRECT THE FIRST
TIME-- SAVES TIME AND $$
More Than Just A Separator. . .
