Flow Equalisers
Flow equalisers are used to uniformly distribute the velocities of the liquid and gas currents, break waves and remove foam. Flow equalisers used in the gas phase can also have the function of separating larger droplets, reducing the liquid load at the more refined gas-liquid separators downstream.
FLOW EQUALISERS ARE AVAILABLE IN THE FOLLOWING VERSIONS
Perforated plate calming baffle
Made of perforated plate, these equalisers are used in horizontal three-phase separators to uniformly distribute the liquid phase velocities, optimising separation through decantation along the separator and the functioning of the specific internals for finer liquid-liquid separation.
Designed in combination with fluid-dynamic analyses, they are also used to stabilise and optimise the functioning of separators in floating applications, such as FPSOs.
Calming baffles in perforated plate are frequently used also for uniform distribution of the velocity of the gas crossing the gas-liquid separators (demisters, vane packs). With this function they are supplied assembled directly with the specific internal.
