ACF Series — Coalescer Filter Separators

Anderson Coalescing Filters are used in applications where sub-micron and aerosol mists must be removed from a gas stream. The ACF Series provides optimum protection for downstream equipment with maximum removal of liquids and solids from air or gas processing streams.

The Anderson Coalescing Filter is a multi-stage separator that provides maximum solid and liquid removal. The primary stage of separation is designed for removal of large particulate and liquid loads through gravitational and centrifugal force. If a high solid or liquid load (slugging) is present, additional separation internals are available to provide bulk removal and extend the life of the coalescing element.

Key Features

• →Provides optimum protection for downstream equipment
• →Maximum removal of liquids and solids from air or gas processing streams
• →99.98% removal of solid particulate and aerosol mists 0.3 microns or larger
• →Beta ratios in excess of 5,000
• →Multi-stage separation design
• →Long service life, low maintenance and minimal downtime with easily accessible coalescing elements
• →Reduces maintenance and operating costs associated with contaminated gas

Principle of Operation

The final stage of separation consists of one or more multi-special layered fiberglass/polypropylene coalescer elements. The entrainment laden gas flows from the inside to the outside of the coalescer elements. The innermost layer acts as a pre-filter to remove submicron solids.

The fibers of the middle layer capture the fine liquid droplets suspended in the gas and cause the droplets to run together and form large droplets within the depth of the filter. These large droplets emerge on the outer surface of the coalescer and drain by gravity to the lower collection chamber. The clean gas passes from the coalescer elements and exits through the vessel outlet.
