PIPELINE CONTAMINATION CONTROLfor the Oil & Gas IndustrySolutionsPall offers a variety of customizable solutions to reduce pipeline contamination andoptimize operations. We’ll develop a solution that’s right for you. Give us a call to findout more about our capabilities in the Oil & Gas industry.Particle filtersCyclo-filtersLiquid/gas coalescersLiquid/liquid coalescersSmall solid aerosols from gasstreams, including BlackPowder (iron oxides, ironsulfides), and other particles(sand, debris), can foulinstruments, valves,compressors, heatexchangers, and other criticalsystem components. Pall’s gasand liquid particle filters areused to remove theseparticles, eliminating aprimary source of thecontamination that causessystem failures. Ultipleat ®High Flow filters removesolids from liquid streamsincluding LPG andhydrocarbon condensates. Forpipelines that are notpiggable, filtration is evenmore critical to maintainpipeline integrity as there is ahigher risk of leakage due tocorrosion and erosion due tolimited informationavailable.Pall products:Coreless Profile ® filters,Epocel ® filters,Nexis ® High Flow filters,Ultipleat High Flow filters,Ultipor ® filters,Claris ® filtersA new filter design thatcombines the advantages of acyclone and an absoluteratedfilter. A two-stageseparator consisting of a lowvelocity cyclonic section toseparate the coarsest particlesdown to 5-10 microns, andan absolute-rated cartridgefilter section to remove thefinest particles down to therequested specification. Thecyclonic section operates atlow velocities in order togenerate a low pressure drop,typically a few psi. The cyclofilteris a high-performanceandhigh-capacity separator,which is capable of handlinghigh solid contents includingsolid slugs during pipelinescraping operations.Pall products:Coreless Profile filters,Pall Cyclonic separatorsPerforming with maximumremoval efficiency andeconomy, Pall’s liquid/gascoalescers reduce equipmentdowntime and decrease laborand maintenance costs. Theyhave a unique fiber mediummatrix that containsincreasing pore sizes. Thisdesign allows small dropletsin the incoming gas to merge(coalesce) into larger dropsthat are easier to separate.The medium enables singlestagecoalescing to separatedifficult liquid aerosols. Ourliquid/gas coalescers arespecially treated with afluoropolymer coating toimprove the drainage ofliquids through the coalescer.As a result, smaller assembliescan be used, and up-frontcapital costs are minimized.The fluoropolymer treatmentalso lowers operating costs byallowing the coalescer tooperate at a lower liquidsaturated pressure drop andrecover quickly from processupsets.Pall products:SepraSol liquid/gas coalescers,SepraSol Plus liquid/gas coalescersPall’s liquid/liquid coalescersare designed to efficientlyseparate liquid/liquidemulsions. They areconstructed of a variety ofpolymers and fluoropolymers,offering a wide range ofcompatibility. Thesehigh-efficiency coalescers areeffective in systems with lowinterfacial tension withoutdisarming or beingcompromised by the presenceof surfactants. A patentedvertical stack design is usedwith a coalescer/separatorconfiguration, allowing aneven flow distribution. Thispermits a high flow rate in asmaller assembly. With longservice life, the coalescercartridges require fewerchange-outs, therebyreducing maintenance anddisposal costs. A horizontaldesign is also available foruse with very low interfacialemulsions.Pall products:AquaSep ® Plus liquid/liquidcoalescers,PhaseSep ® liquid/liquid coalescers6
