What are gas/liquid separators?

They are pressure vessels which create an internal vortex to remove entrained droplets and particles from a process gas, usually compressed air or steam, although there are many petrochemical applications involving other gasses. Having no moving or serviceable components and due to the patented internal geometry of the separator, droplets and particles coalesce and drain from the separator with minimal pressure drop.

Separation of entrained droplets and particles occurs due to gravitational force, centrifugal force and inertial impaction. Our separators have no moving or serviceable internal components, they are self-cleaning and require zero maintenance.

The efficiencies for most of our separators are 99% for removal of droplets and entrained particulate > 10 microns in size, although we do offer versions which can remove finer droplets including a coalescing styles for removal of droplets as fine as 0.3 microns with 99.7% efficiency.

Cast products are typically stocked in non-assembled form, requiring approximately 1 week for assembly and testing prior to shipment after receipt of an order. Fabricated separation products require 6-8 weeks for most "standard" (existing designs) and up to 8 weeks for custom designed separators.

If you need information or a replacement for an existing Wright-Austin separator, we have access to many of the drawings and design details for separators manufactured during the Wright-Austin™ days, usually the applicable information is included on the nameplate. Sometimes a picture and a few dimensions are all that is required for identifying an existing separator.

Although our sizing tools provide sufficient information determine the physical size and design for your application, we encourage you to contact us for assistance with your specific application. The best way to proceed is to fill-out a separator inquiry form. as it will prompt you for most of the information we require to properly size a separator for your application. We reply VERY quickly, often within minutes, certainly be the next business day. We also have live chat available with factory trained personnel.
