Product Overview:The Berchance Gas-Liquid Separator (also known as a Knock-out Drum) is a critical protection device for industrial piping systems. By utilizing gravity settling, cyclonic separation, or high-performance wire mesh demisters, it effectively removes liquid droplets from gas streams. This prevents liquid carryover from damaging downstream equipment like vacuum pumps or compressors and improves material recovery rates.
Key Technical Advantages:
High Separation Efficiency: Can be equipped with internal baffles, tangential inlets, or SS mesh demisters to achieve over 99% separation efficiency.
Premium Material: Fabricated from high-grade SS304 or SS316L, offering exceptional corrosion resistance for pharmaceutical and chemical environments.
Safety & Reliability: Manufactured strictly according to pressure vessel standards, with non-destructive testing on all welds to ensure safety under high vacuum or positive pressure.
Hygienic Design: Mirror-polished internal surfaces and a dead-leg-free design meet the strict cleanliness requirements (CIP) of the pharmaceutical industry.
Typical Applications:
Vacuum Pump Protection: Prevents condensate or solvents from entering and damaging vacuum systems.
Evaporation & Distillation: Captures entrained droplets from secondary vapor to enhance solvent recovery purity.
Pneumatic Systems: Removes moisture and oil from compressed air streams.
