Critical filtration processes across the worldwide oil and gas industries are the focus of a trio of innovative product variations designed to transform operational efficiency in these sectors.
Amazon Filters have re-engineered 3 of our key products widely used in upstream, midstream and downstream processes.
These variants offer the reassurance of retrofit capability, meaning they can be readily and flexibly integrated with existing process equipment.
They are specifically designed for three of the main process applications at the heart of oil and gas filtration and production: liquid gas coalescing; particulate removal from natural gas; and particle removal in liquids.
Extensive performance testing of competitive products and our newly developed retrofits ensures our filters can fit seamlessly into existing systems to provide, at the very least, comparative performance. In many applications, customers will achieve improved performance along with associated economic savings.
Liquid Gas Coalescing
The SupaSep LGM complements the recently released SupaSep LGP coalescer that is based on pleated glass microfibre media technology. The SupaSep LGM is based on proprietary melt blown technology. It is designed as a cost-effective retrofit solution to enhance efficiency and drainage performance in high-flow filtration and separation processes.
It is ideal for the removal of entrained liquid droplets such as water, condensate, oil, glycols and amines from natural gas in applications within processing plants, power plants and compressor stations.
Particulate Removal from Natural Gas
This application is the focus of the Contour Gas PCHC - a variation of Amazon Filters’ Contour Gas melt blown cartridge filters.
These help with the removal from gas transmission lines of black powder, a common source of contamination mainly composed of hard particles of iron oxide and iron sulfide in sizes from 100µm down to sub-micron level.
Typically caused by corrosion and erosion in upstream pipework, the particles are swept along at high speed in the gas flow, with accumulations risking harm to downstream equipment and endangering production safety.
For this new variation of Contour Gas, design engineers have reduced the dimensions of the outer diameter so that more installations can enjoy seamless retrofits.
The graded density of the variation’s melt blown structure ensures efficient removal of fine, sub-micron particles while providing excellent dirt holding capacity.
And the product is now available in two efficiency grades, with coreless and stainless steel core variants, to optimise matching to process conditions.
Particle Removal From Liquids
With the new SupaPleat 1401, Amazon Filters has optimised the pleat configuration of its SupaPleat liquid particulate filter and added advanced, extended-life, polypropylene depth media to ensure low pressure loss and optimised dirt holding.
SupaPleat 1401 is an absolute-rated, high-pressure filter cartridge with a pleated, high surface area designed as a cost-effective alternative to products based on old technology and filtration media.
Its fluid process applications in the refinery, chemical and petrochemical industries include the filtration of solvents, acids, iron fines and hydrocarbons.
