Vertical Separator 30″ x 10′ – New Surplus

Manufacturer: Tri-State Supply Corp
Type: Vertical, Non-Code Pressure Vessel
Year: 2018 | MAWP: 500 PSI | Temp Range: -20°F to 500°F

Designed and built by Tri-State Supply Corp, this 30″ x 10′ vertical separator is a dependable solution for separating gas, oil, and water in a variety of process systems. Its compact vertical orientation makes it ideal for space-constrained environments such as offshore platforms or tight facility footprints. As a new surplus unit, it’s a great value for operations that do not require ASME certification.

What Is a Vertical Separator 30″ x 10′?

A vertical separator is a pressure vessel used to separate fluid mixtures—typically gas, oil, and water—into individual components. It operates on gravity-based separation, with internal components that direct flow and facilitate efficient phase separation.

How It Works

1. Inlet Flow:
   Fluids enter through a side nozzle near the top or middle of the vessel.

2. Primary Separation:
   The flow hits an internal diverter, forcing a rapid change in direction that drops out heavier liquid droplets.

   • Gas rises to the top

   • Liquids fall to the bottom

3. Gravity Separation:
   As the liquids settle, oil and water separate due to density differences, often aided by weirs or baffles.

4. Mist Elimination:
   Gas passes through mist eliminators (such as vane packs or mesh pads) to remove remaining liquid droplets before exiting the top outlet.

5. Liquid Discharge:
   Oil and water exit separately through designated drain ports, typically controlled by level instrumentation.

Why Choose This Vertical Separator 30″ x 10′?

• Space Efficient – Vertical design saves ground space and simplifies drainage.

• Great for High Liquid Volumes – Ideal when liquid makes up a larger portion of the stream.

• Clean & Ready – Delivered hydrotested, cleaned in and out, and inspected for function and reliability.

• Cost-Effective Non-Code Option – Built for applications where ASME certification is not required.
