Wright-Austin established the industry standard for air/liquid separators over 125 years ago. Today the brand continues to deliver high-efficiency centrifugal separators for steam, compressed air, and process gases — available in cast iron, cast steel, 316 stainless steel, and custom fabricated carbon steel or exotic alloys.

Why Choose Wright-Austin?

• 99% efficiency on droplets and particles >10 microns (finer options available down to 0.3 microns)
• Zero maintenance — no moving parts, self-cleaning design
• Low pressure drop — no complex baffles or flow-obstructing internals
• Cast and fabricated options to match your pressure, temperature and material needs
• Custom designs available with ASME code stamp and CRN

What Are Gas/Liquid Separators?

They are pressure vessels that create an internal vortex to remove entrained droplets and particles from process gas. Separation occurs through centrifugal force, gravitational settling, and inertial impaction. Because there are no moving or serviceable parts, Wright-Austin separators are self-cleaning and require zero maintenance.

Most models achieve 99% removal of droplets and particulate >10 microns. Coalescing designs are available for droplets as fine as 0.3 microns at 99.7% efficiency.

Lead times: Cast products typically ship in about 1 week. Fabricated units are usually 6–8 weeks.

Standard Designs

Need to identify an existing Wright-Austin separator? Nameplate data, a photo, or a few dimensions is often enough. We still have access to many historical drawings.
