CASE STUDY Gas Plant

Inlet Cyclone Separator
Alberta

The Mandate. Increased volumes of water and sand were reaching the Caribou North compressor station. Existing separation equipment was not been able to knock out all the sand entering the station. Future gas development increased the potential for damaging the compressor.

The Solution. GRB proposed, designed and supervised the installation of an inlet slug catcher with downstream sand separator (Cyclone type). The cyclone separator provided a secondary inlet separation to the existing slug catcher, knocking out small water and sand particles down to 10 microns.
