MULTIPLE STAGE SEPARATOR VESSEL

摘要

A multiple stage separator (MSS) vessel (50) is disclosed wherein the vessel includes at least first and second stages (A, B) or decks of separation cyclones, the stages arranged for operation in series. Each stage or deck includes an upper and lower tube sheet (56, 74) on which a plurality of cyclones (51) are installed, solid particles in the gas stream being separated from the stream and dispensed between the tube sheets as the stream passes through each stage. The vessel has an inlet (54) to receive a gas stream containing the particulates, and the flow travels typically downwardly, first passing through the first stage, then passing through at least a second stage.
