Spot the First Four Taller Units?
Those standout vertical units in the lineup are our 36″ x 10′ Vertical Separators – New Surplus Vessels currently available for purchase.
Manufactured by Tri-State Supply Corp, these 36-inch diameter, 10-foot-tall vertical separators are designed for effective three-phase separation of gas, oil, and water in industrial applications. Their vertical configuration provides a compact footprint—perfect for space-constrained locations like offshore platforms—without compromising throughput. As surplus equipment in unused condition, these vessels offer excellent performance at a cost-saving price, ideal for operations where ASME certification isn’t required.
What is a Vertical Separator?
A vertical separator is a type of pressure vessel used in the oil & gas and process industries to divide multi-phase fluid streams into their individual components—commonly gas, oil, and water. Using gravity and internal separation devices such as baffles and mist eliminators, it efficiently isolates each phase for further processing or disposal.
Separation Process Overview
Inlet Flow
Fluids enter the vessel through a side-mounted nozzle at the top or midsection.
Initial Separation
An internal diverter rapidly alters the flow direction, prompting denser liquids to drop while gas ascends.
Gravity-Based Settling
Oil and water naturally separate at the vessel’s base due to density differences. Internal weirs or baffles help maintain clear phase boundaries.
Mist Removal
As the gas rises, it passes through mist eliminators (mesh pads or vane packs), stripping out remaining liquid droplets before exit.
Liquid Outlets
Separated oil and water are discharged via designated outlets, typically managed by level controllers.
Why Consider This Vertical Separator?

Shipping Policy
To ensure your order is shipped safely and appropriately, we determine the shipping method based on weight, size, and handling requirements.
Parcel Shipments
Smaller items that meet standard carrier limits are shipped via common parcel carriers such as UPS, FedEx, or USPS. This is calculated for you automatically at checkout.
LTL Freight (Less-Than-Truckload)
Orders that:
Weigh over 150 lbs, or
Exceed parcel carrier size or dimensional limits
will ship via LTL freight.
LTL shipments are handled by third-party freight carriers and typically involve palletized delivery. Transit times and delivery scheduling vary depending on carrier availability, destination, and freight class.
Please note:
LTL deliveries often require a delivery appointment.
Liftgate service, limited access, or residential delivery may affect transit time and cost.
It is best to reach out to us before your purchase on items that exceed 150lbs or that are larger than 96 inches in any one direction in order to ensure that you get an accurate estimate on cost.
Full Truckload (FTL) / Specialized Freight
Large or specialized items—such as tanks, vessels, oversized equipment, or shipments requiring hazmat handling or oversized permits—are managed directly by Tri-State Supply.
These shipments may require:
Full truckload (FTL) transport
Oversized or overweight permits
Specialized carriers or equipment
Additional coordination prior to shipment
Because of this, processing and delivery timelines for full truckload or specialized freight are determined on a case-by-case basis. Our team will coordinate directly with you to confirm logistics before shipment. You will need to reach out to us for a quote. You may also arrange freight for your purchases. Loading fees, appointments, and more arrangements will still need to be agreed upon before something leaves our property.
Order Processing & Timing
Most in-stock orders are processed within 1–3 business days. Freight shipments—especially LTL and full truckload—may require additional time to schedule pickup and delivery.
Estimated delivery dates are provided as guidance and are subject to carrier and logistical factors beyond our direct control.
Questions Before You Order
If you are purchasing:
Large or heavy items
Freight-sensitive equipment
Job-site or residential deliveries
we strongly recommend contacting us before placing your order so we can help confirm the best shipping method and set clear expectations.
