Statement of Problem
 Shale Gas is “Wetter” than conventional Natural Gas
 Conventional Coalescing filters have high probability
of contaminate carryover
 Contaminate Carryover causes:
* Damage to downstream components = added expense
* Shut in situations = reduce revenue
FLOW INSIDE TO OUT
REQUIRES UPSTREAM PRE-FILTER to
ELIMINATE SLUGS & GROSS CONTAMINATE
LIQUIDS COALESCE ON OUTLET SURACE OF
ELEMENT
FILTERED GAS FLOW EXPOSED TO
CONTAMINATE = Source for CARRYOVER
NGL CARRY OVER COMMON
