Separator Filter Element Model ST318FA-5 In Petroleum Industry

The separator filter element is made of special hydrophobic material. When the liquid passes through the separator filter element, the water beads are kept outside the filter element, and the liquid flows through the filter element and is finally discharged from the outlet. The water droplets kept outside the filter element gather with each other, gradually increase in size, and then settle into the water storage tank at the bottom of the container due to gravity.

Product Introduction

Introduction

The separator filter element is made of special hydrophobic material. When the liquid passes through the separator filter element, the water beads are kept outside the filter element, and the liquid flows through the filter element and is finally discharged from the outlet. The water droplets kept outside the filter element gather with each other, gradually increase in size, and then settle into the water storage tank at the bottom of the container due to gravity.

Features

  • Hydrophobic Material Advantage: Constructed from a special hydrophobic material, the ST318FA - 5 separator filter element exhibits excellent water - repelling properties. This material prevents water droplets from passing through the filter while allowing the target liquid to flow freely. As a result, it effectively separates water from the liquid stream, ensuring a high - purity output.

  • Self - Aggregation and Settling Design: When water beads encounter the filter element, they are retained on the outer surface. Over time, these water droplets aggregate with each other, gradually growing in size. Eventually, due to gravity, they settle into the bottom water storage tank of the container. This self - cleaning mechanism reduces the need for frequent manual intervention and maintenance.

  • Durable Build: The filter element is designed with a robust structure. The inner support framework provides mechanical strength, enabling it to withstand the pressure exerted by the flowing liquid. The outer housing is made of corrosion - resistant materials, ensuring long - term performance even in harsh operating environments.

    Application

  • Natural Gas Processing: In natural gas dehydration units, the ST318FA - 5 filter element plays a crucial role. Natural gas often contains water vapor, which can cause corrosion in pipelines and equipment. By efficiently removing water droplets, it helps to protect downstream components such as compressors, valves, and heat exchangers. This not only extends the lifespan of the equipment but also improves the overall efficiency of the natural - gas processing plant.

  • Petroleum Refining: In refineries, various liquid - gas separation processes are involved. The separator filter element is used to separate water and other impurities from refined petroleum products. For example, in gasoline and diesel production lines, it ensures that the final products meet the required quality standards by removing any trace amounts of water, which could otherwise affect combustion performance and engine operation.

  • Industrial Liquid Filtration: In industries such as chemical manufacturing and food and beverage production, there is a need to separate liquids from contaminants. The ST318FA - 5 can be used to filter out water and solid particles from process liquids, ensuring product quality and preventing equipment damage. In chemical reactors, it helps to maintain a stable reaction environment by removing unwanted substances.

  • Technical Data

    • Filtration Precision: Can separate liquid - phase water droplets down to 5μm, ensuring high - purity liquid output.

    • Flow Rate: Rated flow rate is 30 L/min under normal operating conditions, adaptable to different production capacities.

    • Operating Pressure: Maximum operating pressure is 2.5 MPa, minimum is 0.2 MPa, suitable for a wide range of pressure - bearing systems.

    • Operating Temperature: Operates within a temperature range of -20℃ to 120℃, accommodating various process conditions.

    • Connection Size: The inlet and outlet connections have a standard NPT (National Pipe Thread) with a diameter of 1.5 inches, facilitating easy installation.
