Benefits of technology

The invention is a filtration system that includes a primary process vessel with multiple fluid apertures and a removable end cap. The system also includes a filter support and a filter assembly for filtering fluid. The system can be used in a continuous or discontinuous process. The technical effects of the invention include improved filtration efficiency, reduced pressure drop, and increased flexibility for process configurations.

Problems solved by technology

These technologies are often bulky, requiring a large footprint, and are usually only configured to perform one type of separation process, or minor variations of the process.

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention include a filtration system with a separation system including a primary process vessel with a main body enclosing an internal volume, and a removable end cap coupled to one of the ends of the main body. The primary process vessel includes fluid apertures enabling a fluid stream to enter or exit the inner volume. The separation system includes a filter support positioned in the inner volume, and a filter assembly coupled to the filter support. In some embodiments, the filtration system further includes a support frame, and the separation system is mounted on the support frame. In some embodiments, the separation system is fluidly coupled to another separation system. In some embodiments, the filter assembly includes a coalescing filter. In some further embodiments, the filter assembly includes a filter configured and arranged to filter hydrocarbons.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of filing date of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61 / 982,192 titled “SEPARATION SYSTEM AND METHOD filed on Apr. 21, 2014, the specification of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]Petroleum producers, refiners and gas processors (including onshore and offshore), and chemical manufacturers utilize separation systems to filter, process, and recover hydrocarbons and other chemical products from a variety of raw material process streams. Separation systems of this nature need to account for an inlet stream that can comprise a complex heterogeneous mixture of solids, liquids, and gaseous materials that requires processing to achieve separation of one or more components with a predetermined efficiency.[0003]Conventional separation technologies are usually assembled and configured as multiple separation vessels interconnected with piping, valve assemblies, and associa...
