The Voraxial Separator is fitted with a patented non-clog, low-shear rotary assembly designed to create a vortex in the fluids flowing through the separator. By this action, heavier materials (such as solids) are forced to the outside of the vortex while lighter materials (such as oil) are drawn to form in the central core of the vortex, thereby creating separated flow streams. A specially designed manifold is utilized at the exit of the separation chamber to collect the separated streams.
- A continuous flow turbo machine capable of separating
Liquid/Liquid, Liquid/Solid, Liquid/Liquid/Solid Mixtures - A vortex is produced with the heavier materials drawn to the outside of the vortex and the lighter elements forming the core of the vortex
- A specially designed manifold is utilized to collect the separated streams
The Voraxial® Separator is a compact, 2-way or 3-way separator that is able to process large volumes of liquids with a small footprint and without any pressure loss. The Voraxial’s compactness (a Voraxial 2000 Separator processes an average of 50 gpm while only using a 2-inch pipe), enables a complete system to be packaged together around the Voraxial Separator that can increase performance while keeping costs down. The Test Unit employed consists of a two stage Voraxial 2000 Separator Skids.
The Skid equipment includes:
- Voraxial® 2000 Separator
(removes bulk solids and free oil) - Coalescer,
(increases the size of small oil droplets for secondary separation) - Voraxial® 2000 Separator
(removes free oil discharged from the Coalescer) - Polishing Unit (removes any remaining oil emulsions)
