Vortex Separators
Fine Particle Separation in a Reduce Footprint
Fine Particle Separation in a Reduce Footprint
Taylor Forge Vortex Tube Technology leverages high velocities to reduce to the diameters and overall footprint of their separators as compared to conventional vane, mesh, and coalescing competitors. With standard and knockout arranged in horizontal and vertical alignments, the tube design is setup to provide a low cost, low maintenance separator the is easy on operations and your budget.
The Whirly Jig
Patented and designed to generate high g-forces, the Taylor Forge Whirly Jig ingeniously allows for recycling of gas a motive to pull liquids out of the separation tube.
Maintenance Free
With no moving parts, the Vortex Tube Separator is better on operations, your budget, and the environment.
Overview
THE PROCESS DESIGN
Speed is our friend. High velocity gas and liquid cross the whirly jig’s fixed vane assembly inducing a high g-force tornado inside the separation tube. These forces combined with the contrasting density and specific gravity of the gas and liquid, force the heavier liquids to the tube wall while the gas stays in the low-pressure core of the tube. The liquids then leave out the gap via the 8-10% motive gas that recycles back to be cleaned once more. With a fixed pressure drop based on the highest possible volumetric flow rate and turn down needs, the design tube design can be customized to achieve up to 90% turndown ratios.
SOLUTIONS TO MEET YOUR PROCESS FLOW NEEDS
The Taylor Forge Vortex Tube Design is flexible in orientation. The whirly jigs can be aligned in single-tube and multi-tube arrangements both in horizontal and vertical alignment. With minimal cost differences and without the need for a quick opening closure, significant cost-savings is realized. Depending on your process stream flows, a knockout sections and two-zone control systems can be applied to handle surges or small slugs of liquid that may arrive at your separator.
