Abstract: One of the common methods used to remove suspended particles from gas streams is centrifugal force. Many centrifugal devices of various shapes, sizes and design are used by the natural gas industry to protect compressors and regulating equipment. A familiar sight at many compressor stations is the Dry Centrifugal Scrubber which utilizes small diameter cyclones to remove contaminents by centrifugal action. Although most versatile and adaptable to a wide range of applications and pressures, this design is still limited in capacity. Beyond 72 diameter, it becomes more and more difficult to distribute the gas to all points in a uniform manner. Maintaining desired velocities with a horizontal design is more feasible since the flow pattern is essentially front to back. By sectionalizing the discharge areas to avoid recirculation, this configuration can handle flows up to 2 billion SCFD or more.
