Spiral Speed Separator (SSS)

Abstract

The principle for the Spiral Speed Separator is the combination of tangential, centrifugal and gravitational forces, which results in a far more effective and superior separation for the removal of vapors or gases from liquids, solids from liquids, and solids from gases.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The conventional configuration includes the separator, which resembles a drum. It can be either in a horizontal or a vertical shape and is known as a knock out drum, reflux drum, vapor liquid or solid separator. The mixtures of vapor-liquid, solid-liquid, and solid-gas are allowed to enter for separation from each other. The separation in most cases is less effective and results in lower separation efficiencies. Even with the cyclone separator, there is still a lot of carry over due to entrainment because of the short span from the inlet to top side outlet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION

The invention relates to a unique method efficiently separation of various streams or fluids such as:

• • Gases or Vapors from Liquids
  • Gases or Vapors from Solids
  • Liquids from Solids

The combination and creation of the fluid's centrifugal and gravitational forces through a tangential projection with the directional vanes in both zones with equal distance and volume is the basis for the Spiral Speed Separator. The angle of the tangential flow is shown by the angle β in the FIG. 1. The fluids' kinetic energy is used to create all the effects which result in efficient separation than the conventional systems. This phenomenon will result in a far superior separation among the different fluids and also highly efficient for mixing and blending different fluids.
