Vane Separators (Chevron)
Vane separators (chevrons / droplet separators) are largely used for the separation of coarse and viscous mist / spray (may include solid particles) from gas streams and are usually installed in towers or placed in a housing. The vane separator is a lamella type of separator consisting of specially designed vanes with a well defined geometry and can be made using variety of materials (plastic and metals), in different sizes and configurations.
Vane separators can be designed for new plants based on the required gas flow, removal efficiency, pressure drop and fouling possibilities, or can be supplied as a replacement in an existing plant where construction is as per earlier design. Two flow orientations are possible in vane separators, namely horizontal flow and vertical flow.
