The required vessel diameter for a high-efficiency vertical vane separator is reduced by 30–40% compared with that of traditional mesh pads or other separation devices, thereby effectively helping customers lower equipment investment.
The high-efficiency vane-type separator is a gas–liquid separation solution with high efficiency, large processing capacity, and low operating and maintenance costs. It can be subdivided into the following types:
| High-Efficiency Horizontal Separator | High-Efficiency Vertical Separator | High-Efficiency Axial Separator |
 |  |  |
| Suitable for applications with high liquid load and slug flow. | Suitable for limited installation space and slug flow conditions. | Suitable for applications with installation space or piping connection limitations. |

Working Principle:
(A) The feed inlet device for the gas-liquid two-phase stream reduces the kinetic energy of the incoming fluid while removing large liquid droplets and slug flow entrained in the gas.
(B) The gas, carrying the remaining fine liquid droplets, flows into the high-efficiency separation vanes located above.
(C) The liquid captured by the vanes is collected beneath the vane section.
(D) Under the action of gravity, the collected liquid is directed through downcomers to the bottom of the separator and is eventually discharged.
(E) Properly designed liquid level control ensures smooth discharge of the liquid from the vessel bottom, while a liquid seal prevents gas from bypassing into the downcomers, thereby avoiding flow short-circuiting.
Key Features & Benefits

Technical Specifications
The high-efficiency vertical vane separator ensures 100% removal of liquid droplets with a diameter of 8 microns or larger. At maximum design capacity, the total liquid carryover in the outlet gas does not exceed 0.1 U.S. gallons per million standard cubic feet (13.4 liters per million standard cubic meters).

Combination Structures of High-Efficiency Separation Vanes
High-efficiency separation vanes are typically designed in different combination structures to meet process performance requirements and vessel dimensional constraints. The unit combination structures of high-efficiency separation vanes generally include four basic forms: single-vane set, double-vane set, four-vane set, and eight-vane set. When process performance and vessel dimensions have specific requirements, high-efficiency separation vanes can also be designed in targeted combination structures to meet special customer demands.
Comparison of High-Efficiency Separation Vanes with Conventional Wire Mesh
Compared with conventional wire mesh, high-efficiency separation vanes offer significant techno-economic advantages.
The vessel dimensions required for designs utilizing high-efficiency separation vanes are typically reduced by at least 30–40% compared with conventional wire mesh designs, resulting in lower capital investment and reduced footprint.
High-efficiency separation vanes are formed by pressing smooth stainless steel plates, making them resistant to damage and clogging. Their daily operation, maintenance, and shutdown overhauls incur very low costs, while their service life far exceeds that of conventional wire mesh.
