What do People Mean?
- Percent Removal Rate
i.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 Centrifugal Type
Separators
• L and LC - Inline Separators Vertical
Down Flow and Horizontal
• TL - Inline Separators
Horizontal
Shorter face to face
• 99% of 10  and Larger Liquid
and Solid Particles
Anderson’s Centrifugal Type
Separators -Cont
• Combination Separator Traps
- 81S, HS, HSW - Inline
• Exhaust Heads
- Cast and Fabricated
• BI - Internal Steam Drum Separator
Anderson’s Centrifugal Type

• Handles Heavy Solid Loadings
• 100% of 8  and Larger Liquid Particles
• 100% of 5  and Larger Solid Particles
• 99% of 5 to 8  and Larger Liquid Particles
L Type Centrifugal Separator
• ASME Code Design Standard
• 2-1/2 Inch to 12 Inch Flanged unit standard
• Two Standard Models:
-150 PSIG (10 BARG) @ 500 ºF (260 ºC)
-300 PSIG (20 BARG) @ 500 ºF (260 ºC)
• Horizontal & Vertical Down Flow (Vert.
Down Flow Has Higher Liquid Capacities)
• HI-EF Element Standard
• Low Press Drop (<1 PSI, .01 BAR F-F)
• Very Economical For ASME Code Unit
• Popular w/ Air Compressors / Steam
Systems / Refining
• 99% of 10 : 2:1 TURNDOWN
• Solids & Liquids
• Maximum Entrainment: 5% By Weight
LS Type Centrifugal Separator
• “S” Stands For Special
• Any Special Material 304, 316,
and Exotics
• Sizes Above 12”
• Non Standard Pressures
• Special Configurations
• Mix & Match Elements
• Popular w/ A&E Firms, OEMS
• Same Efficiency: 99% 10 , 2:1
Typical Turndown. 5% by Weight

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. . .
