The vanes, their appropriate mounting systems, anc the vessels in which they are installed are produced in our own specialized manufacturing facilties. Exacting standards are maintained with regard to metallurgy, welding, and manufacturing tolerances, anc the same standards of orecision ‘are maintained for common process separation requirements as are employes for nuclear applications. Research and development activities are cn: going, eliher in our own in-house, modern research facilty, or in cooperation with universi- ties or customer programs. In special cases, ‘model tests are run and measurements carried out in the fied, Mode of Operation The operation of a vane plate separator depends con the inertia of droplets, the surface tension of the liquids, the mass flow over a vane surtace area, and other factors that vary according to the specific application. The separators consist of a serpentine path formed by paraiiel plates with collection siots at right angles to the direction ot flow. The saturated gas stream camying entrained liquid droplets is forced to rapidly change directions several times while passing through the vane assembly. Centrifugal force and momentum act ‘on the droplets, causing them to contact the vane surfaces. The gas molecules, being much lighter, idly exit the vane assembly with minimal friction loss (pressure drop). The liquid droplets thrown against the vane walls forrn a. film, allowing surface tension effects to retard re-entrainment Of this liquid, and ennancing the ability to capture additional droplets that follow. The agglomerated liguid is prevented from being pushed toward the es oulet by troughs that are positonec perpen- dicular to the direction of flow. Once the hauid reaches the troughs (also called slots, pockets or drainage channels), the liquid is no longer Girect. ly exposed to the gas flowpath, and gravity drains the Iquid away from the process. This ‘8 a key feature of Burgess-Manning vane separators, in that once separated from the gas flow, the lia~ ids are never again directly exposed to the gas path, as would be the case in a mesh pad and some other types of vane designs. Calculated Gas Flow Field in a Vane Band ‘Aithough the basic operation of a vane mist aim inator i fay simple, proper dasion ane applica- tion for specific purposes is more comolex. For instance, small vanatons in vane spacing, dis- tance between drain pockets, etc. can signif- cantly alter the performance of a vane assembly Turbulence effects also have a bearing on the vane's pressure drop and its throughout cepabil- iy. Particle size cistribution is very cificul 10 pre dict, and experience is necessary to know when and how to alter the vane design to produce the required droplet removal performance. High operating pressures and/or low operating temn- peratures, viscous liquids, condensing or vapor- r2ng phase changes, all add challenges to the job of choosing the’ proper separator design. Years of experence, exoerimentation, and both practical and simuiated design testing have pro- vided Burgess-Manning’s engineers with a wealth of knowledge regarding vane design Using ths accumulated resource of exoertise, we can assure our customers of a proven, reiable, effective separator, backed by a guarantee of periormance Innovative Design Criteria The forces on droplets in a non-rectilnear moving gas flow can be predicted if the gas flow is cor- rectly modeled. Until recently, coarse simolifica- tions were applied in the case of vane separator design to approximate droplet trajectories. An exact solution, although theoretically possible was normally considered ractically infeasible because of the tremendous computational task required to map all velocities, eddies, turbulence and other inleractions among the gas, liquid droplets, and vane components. With the advent of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and more powertul, lass expensive computers, the solutions to the so-called Navier-Stokes equations can be calculated. The tools alone are not sufficient to producs a re able result, however. A thorough understanding of the fundamental physical principles is necessary to allow the proper application of CFD tools. Furthermore, some physical mode's are required {0 verify any results. Burgess-Manning has proven its ability © combine its expertise with the latest technology, bby successtully solving the Navier-Stokes equa- tions. The result is a broad range of vane designs, with remarkably improved operating properties. Scope of Supply Burgass-Manning can supply either vane assem- bles (bundles) in a housing frame reedy for iastal- lation, or 2 complete separator vessel with vane internals. in the case of retrofit of existing vessels, cr for future access or maintenance, Burgess: Manning vane bundle assemblies can be sup- pled cut and matcn-marked for installation through a manway. Vanes and boxing materials are avalable in a variely of metallurgies, including carbon steel, stainless steel, duplex stainiess steel, and other alloys Pressure vessels likewise are avaliable in any umber of configurations and sizes, all custom
