Comments
None Critical Equipment downstream or where Mesh plugs
Improved Design
High efficiency & 10% high capacity High efficiency high Liquid load Medium efficiency & 50% extra high capacity Ultra high efficiency 99.9% of 1 micron 99.9% 8 micron Double Pocket Vane 99.9% of 1 micron 99.9% 5 micron 99.9% 5 micron To protect compressors Catalyst & beds, etc. To avoid mesh flooding In applications where Mesh plugs To minimize solvent losses (MEA, MDEA, etc)

Limited Vessel diameter or height Restricted disengaging space for the incoming gas / bad gas distribution High gas velocity creates turbulences in the liquid phase reduces oil/water gravity separation Higher mist loading in the gas phase could flood the M.E. Build new support structure with welding to the vessel wall (Retrofit)
