Flame Arrestor Housing & Flame Cells

Natco Flame Arrestor Housing

& Flame Cells
DESCRIPTION
Natco flame arrestors are used to prevent the
transmission of flame within the combustion chamber
when exposed to an external fuel source. The purpose
of a flame arrestor is to reduce the temperature of
a flame below the ignition temperature of the fuel to
withstand the internal forces of an explosion.

Natco flame arrestor housings and flame cells

are available and recommended for all fired units.
Fire tube size, length, BTU rating, type of gas and
application specs are required prior to ordering all
flame arrestor housings or flame cells.

Flame arrestor housings are constructed from

standard aluminum but can be made of carbon or
stainless steel material depending on the type of
application it will be placed in.

Flame cells can be made from aluminum or stainless

steel material and come in four different styles:

O-Type – 1-2 Pieces

 PERFORMAX Coalescer
Coalescing & Filter Media

PERFORMAX Coalescers
DESCRIPTION
Natco revolutionized oil and water separation with
the development of the PERFORMAX matrix plate.
This coalescing media accelerates gravity separation
of oil from water and water from oil with remarkable
efficiency. It is useful in heated process equipment as
well as in ambient separation systems like free-water
knockouts. It handles a wide variety of oil and water
dispersions in all ranges of API oil gravities.

Large Volumes in Small Vessels

The horizontal coalescer uses an inlet momentum
absorber to slow the velocity and distribute the flow of
the incoming stream. Then the oil and water mixture
flows into the PERFORMAX matrix plate section
where the inclined channels accelerate coalescence. PERFORMAX Coalescer
(See Figures 1 & 2). Separation efficiency improves
dramatically because PERFORMAX technology
causes the oil droplets to coalesce and rise much
more rapidly than smaller droplets in conventional
coalescers. (See figures 3 & 4). As a result, the
PERFORMAX coalescer handles higher flow rates
through smaller vessels and gets better results.

Coalescing
Why should you consider PERFORMAX matrix plates?

Achieves excellent water quality and 98% removal of oil particulates attainable with proper
chemical treatment.

Improves gas quality with lower oil entrainment and eliminates the need for a supplement mist extractor.

Lowers BS&W content with higher quality of discharged oil it allows greater treater efficiency and lower fuel
requirements.

Reduce chemical costs with lower chemical dosages which improves performance and reduces chemical
costs as much as 50%.

Consistent operation under widely variable conditions, it absorbs fluctuating flow rates, varying solids
contamination and oil and water mixtures to minimize the effects of normal day to day upsets.

Reduce space requirements because the PERFORMAX system uses a single, often smaller vessel with
a higher flow rate capacity to achieve better separation efficiency. The horizontal vessel minimizes head
room requirements.

Lowers operating costs since no power is required for the actual separation process.

No pumps required so the system is totally inline with no head loss in the operation.

Simple installation above or below ground with hook-up to the incoming flow to the water effluent line and
oil effluent lines.

High reliability because there are no moving parts and the media itself is easily removable for routine
maintenance and cleaning. ASME Code Construction is a Natco standard.

Resists plugging because the open matrix design minimizes plugging problems often encountered with
other types of coalescing systems.

Ideal for retro fit because PERFORMAX plate sections retrofit easily into existing coalesces, free water
knockouts and skim tanks to boost their capacities and efficiencies.
 Vane Pak & Mistex
Coalesing & Filter Media

Vane Pak
DESCRIPTION
The Vane Pak Mist Eliminator is designed to remove
entrained liquid droplets from high velocity gas
streams. The rugged construction and open blade
spacing can be used in diverse applications. The
non-welded, bolt and spacer construction adds an
extra edge to corrosion resistance. All the vane
paks are designed to meet a wide range of process
requirements

Vertical radial flow vane paks are utilized for high

gas/oil ratios, any oil gravity and very high gas flow
rates. The separation mechanism is impingement and
coalescence. They are used in vertical separators

Vertical radial flow vane paks allow higher gas flows

through the separator. The radial vane passageways Vane Pak
diverge to give better turndown performance

Vertical radial flow vane paks can be retrofitted to

existing separators.

Mistex Pad
DESCRIPTION
The Mistex Pads are designed for the separation of
mist and small liquid droplets from gas or a vapor
stream. The theory on the mistex pad is that the liquid
particles collide with the wire mesh and coalesce
into droplets. Gravity will then cause the droplets to
fall through the mesh pad and collect in the vessel.
Dry gas will go through the downstream side of the
wire mesh while the liquid is removed from the vessel
through a dump valve.

The knitted wire mesh is rolled and available in

different sizes and shapes. The material is a 9#
density and is available in 4” and 6” thicknesses and
the grade of the material is 316 Stainless Steel.

FluidSep™ Liquid/Liquid Separation Filter Element

Natcoʼs FluidSep™ Liquid/Liquid Separation Filter

Element utilizes a specialty media that increases
suspended water removal and decreases costs even
under some of the most difficult situations for refiners.

Refinery products are negatively affected by water;

therefore, refiners must put in substantial equipment,
materials and labor into water removal. It is necessary
to remove water from fuel due to its corrosive nature. Filter Elements
Water contains various corrosive materials, such as
chlorides and caustic that can wreak havoc on refinery
or other types of equipment. Water can corrode tank
bottoms and promote bacterial growth. Processes
such as steam stripping, caustic treating and amine
treating inherently add equilibrium concentrations of
water under normal operating conditions

Natcoʼs FluidSep™ Liquid/Liquid Element media is a

composition of inorganic microfibers of various cross
sectional diameters designed to maximize efficiency.

Great care is taken in fabricating the FluidSep™ filter

media matrix into a durable filter element of superb
quality. Materials used in this element (support cores,
end caps seals, etc.) have been carefully selected
to ensure fabrication integrity, fluid compatibility, and
reliable collapse ratings

FEATURES
Cost Effective – Removes suspended water that can
promote corrosion in equipment.

Beta Rated Filtration – Predictable efficiency to the

specified particle size during the life of the filter.

Long Life – High surface area resulting in more

holding capacity

Chemical Compatibility –FluidSep™ Filter Media is

compatible with most process fluid chemicals

DESI-DRI C Gas Drying Tablets

DESCRIPTION
Natural gas pipeline moisture specifications can be
difficult to meet. Desiccants lower relative humidity
to an acceptable level. Unfortunately, common
desiccants often do not take enough water out of the
gas to meet more stringent specifications. DESI-DRI
C is three times more effective than the more common
desiccants. DESI-DRI C effectively lowers relative
humidity to meet gas pipeline specifications.

DESI-DRI C can be used by itself or in combination

with DESI-DRI HPA. In this application the natural gas
flows through the DESI-DRI HPA first, removing the
majority of the moisture and then through the

DESI-DRI D Gas Drying Tablets

DESCRIPTION
DESI-DRI D represents the most advanced
technology in gas drying deliquescent to date.
Produced as a eutectic in a novel patented process,
DESI-DRI D eliminates many of the drawbacks that
have been historically associated with conventionally
produced gas drying tables. Since a eutectic pellet
represents a homogeneous new crystal-line form, the
problems of tablet compression, disintegration and
dusting are virtually eliminated.

DESI-DRI D has been developed to meet the

economic, environmental and performance
requirements of a more demanding gas processing
market. It also has been engineered to meet new dew
point requirements where other desiccants can not.
The drying performance of DESI-DRI D surpasses DESI-DRI D
that of competitive lithium based drying tablets.

 Answers to Common Questions

History of desiccant drying:

Deliquesant desiccants have been used to dehydrate natural gas since the 1920ʼs and historically have
been primarily utilized by independent operators at relatively low flow capacity installations. Consequently,
equipment was frequently pieced together on location and the main drying vessel resembled a vertical
separator with a screen inserted to support the desiccant. As design flow rate increased the, “pot”, style dryer
was simply increased. How ever this led to numerous operational problems such as channeled gas flow,
which causes washouts and velocity problems within the desiccant bed. This results in inadequate drying,
bridging of desiccant and fluid and desiccant carryover in to the downstream gas line. These, “pot”, style
dryers were typically designed to operate at a linear velocity of 0.25 to 0.75ft/sec. Consequently, deliquesant
desiccant dryers were seldom used for higher flow (over 10MMscfd) applications. Also many of the early
desiccant dryers were actually converted air dryers and were designed for low pressure. This led to the
misconception that deliquesant desiccant dryers could only be used for low flow and low pressure systems.

What are desiccants and how do NATCO desiccant dehydration systems work?
Deliquesant desiccants are primarily made from various blends of alkali earth metal halide salts and are
naturally hygroscopic. Water vapor is removed from gas as it flows through a bed of desiccant tablets in a
pressure vessel. Moisture is attracted to salts in the deliquescent tablets and coats them with hygroscopic
(water attracting) brine. This brine continues to attract water and forms a droplet and then flows down the
desiccant bed into a sump. An automatic level controller and control valve then discharge the effluent water
into a storage tank. Common brine water is the only byproduct. Since the desiccants dissolve upon attracting
and absorbing water vapor (deliquesce), new desiccant is simply added to the vessel when needed.

How long will the desiccant in each vessel last?

This is a common question that is a function of a couple of variables. The refill rate of the vessel is a function
of the volume of desiccant contained in each vessel and the total quantity of water that is removed from the
gas stream to meet the customerʼs outlet gas specification. Please note that the consumption of the various
types of desiccants are different; therefore the refill rates in a multistage system will all be different. Also in a
multistage system the first vessel will remove approximately 70% of the water and will be the vessel that will
need to be serviced the most. The NATCO engineering design program can be used to design a system to
meet the customerʼs needs. It is important to remember that for the vast majority of situations, refill intervals
are not a critical issue. Most production sites are visited every day or two and the refill process, except for
very large systems, takes no more that 30 minutes. Longer refill intervals require larger or more vessels
and consequently higher equipment costs. Stress the ease of the refill operation unless the customer has a
legitimate reason for extended refills, such as a remote site location or sour gas, etc.

Will the desiccant system work in sour gas production?

Yes the desiccant dehydration technology will work in sour gas production and is a definite benefit because
it eliminates odor problems caused by H2S and unwanted stack gas emissions such as SO2. There are
desiccant dryers in operation today that are dehydrating sour gas with H2S concentrations of 30,000ppm.
Additionally, dry desiccant units are successfully operating on gas streams containing 20% by volume of
CO2. These desiccants will operate on pure H2S and CO2 gas streams.
Whatʼs new about DESI-DRI desiccant technology?

Below is a comparison between old calcium chloride technology and the NATCO DESI-DRI technology.

Porous briquettes Non-porous, low permeability tablets
Blooming and caking No blooming or caking, tablets retain their
hardness
Bridging in the dryers No bridging due to better tablets and equipment
Channeling of the gas flow No channeling due to superior equipment design
Broken briquettes and powder Hard tables do not break in storage
and shipping
Dust carryover down line No dust with hard tablets
Limited drying ability Different grades provide very dry results
Plugging of vessel trays No trays to plug
Complicated equipment Very simple equipment operation
Tall towers – difficult service Low profile units, very easy & safe to service
Unpredictable results/usage Predictable performance and operating costs

What are the best applications for desiccant dehydration?

Some of the best applications for desiccant dehydration are listed below:

- Medium and high pressure sales gas

- Cool sales gas (less than 80ºF)
- Hydrate control in pipelines
- Free water control in pipelines
- Fuel gas for compressors, line heaters, chiller engines, generators, etc.
- To eliminate emission and odor problems with TEG units by replacing them
- Environmentally sensitive areas where VOCs, NO_ and BTEX emissions as well
as ground contamination are an issue.
- Replace oversized TEG units
- Drying sour gas streams
- Instrument gas
- Temporary, portable or short-term rental applications
- Remote sites
- Very low pressure (10 to 50 psig) gas where TEG does not work and is not feasible
- Floating production platforms ( no pitch and roll considerations)
- Floating production barges
What are the advantages of desiccant dehydration?
There are a lot of advantages to the desiccant dehydration technology over other methods used to dehydrate
natural gas. Some of the advantages are listed below:

- No VOC and BTEX emissions

- No ground contaminations from glycols
- Easy installations
- No costly disposal
- Simple operation
- No fire hazard
- Low maintenance
- No pumps, burners or heat exchangers
- Low predictable operating costs
- No “turn down limitations”
- Low capital expenditure

How do you know when it is time to add desiccant to the system?

The NATCO engineering program is used to calculate the life bed of a vessel for a given set of process
conditions. After each unit is installed at the customerʼs production site it is recommended that the vessel be
reopened after a few days of operation to measure how far the top of the desiccant bed had dropped inside
the vessel. If the bed has dropped 1ʼ to 0” over a three day period and the bed height is 4ʼ to 0”, this probably
means that the vessel will need to be filled every nine days, since 1ʼ to 0” of desiccant should remain in the
vessel at all times. Over time the person responsible for filling the vessel will get a feel for when each vessel
needs to be refilled with desiccant.

Changes in the inlet gas temperature, pressure and the duration of down time at the facility will affect the
time interval at which the vessel needs refilling. Each vessel is designed with a 1-1/4” 3000# sight port on the
side of the vessel, which is located 1ʼ to 0” above the bottom of the desiccant bed. It is important to never let
the desiccant height in the vessel drop below 1ʼ to 0”, as this will start to affect the outlet gas stream.

To what level should the vessel be filled with desiccant?

Fill each vessel with the correct desiccant until the desiccant height is approximately 1” below the gas outlet.
The dryer vessel has a stainless steel screen welded inside to cover the nozzle opening. This screen will
prevent tablets from falling into the gas outlet piping should the dryer be overfilled. Overfilling the dryer will
not cause any operational problems in a properly designed desiccant dehydration system.
How do you dispose of the brine?

Almost everyone asks about the disposal of the brine (salt water) at the bottom of the dryer vessel. The brine
is piped to the customerʼs water storage vessel and disposed of with all other production fluids. It is important
to note that dryers produce a very small amount of brine when compared to other production fluids. A dryer
flowing 20MMscfd at 1250 psig and 70ºF, drying 5# water/MMscf outlet gas spec produces only one barrel
per day, assuming the inlet gas stream is completely saturated with water vapor.

Will the brine in the dryer vessel cause corrosion?

For corrosion to occur, free oxygen must be present. The brine inside the vessel will not cause corrosion
in the dehydration of any gas streams in which oxygen is not present. Natural gas, CO2 and H2S contain
no free oxygen. In any dry desiccant systems in which free oxygen is present, corrosion is a major design
concern. The vessels can be coated internally with an appropriate system. Carboline and other major coating
manufactures have systems specifically designed for salts. Additionally, the drain piping and valves must be
appropriately protected through the use of stainless steel trim in the valve and internal coating in the piping of
the use of stainless steel pipe.

Natco Electrostatic Grid Transformers and Controllers

Load Responsive Controller (LRC)

- Provides a one-programmed voltage profile sequence to the grid transformer to produce optimum, or
specific, coalescing / mixing for crude oil treating.
- Monitors the Treater Grid performance and protects all components against upset or dangerous
conditions such as electrical over load.
- Returns the grid system to normal operation immediately after the occurrence / correction of upset condition
- Quenches the power to terminate high current arcing situations.

Dual Frequency Controller

- The Dual Frequency process improves the performance of an electrostatic dehydration process by creating a
high voltage field that promotes aggressive water droplet movement and coalescence. The Dual Frequency
process overcomes the problem created by high oil conductivity and low interface tension.
- By using the high frequency transistors to control the voltage levels, the Dual Frequency transformer is
capable of combining a high frequency base voltage with a low frequency modulation. The high frequency
significantly reduces the voltage decay from the electrodes and sustains the DC voltage field. The low
frequency provides a controlled droplet oscillation and prevents droplet dispersion.
- In addition to the improvements in process performance, the Dual Frequency process typically provides the
best performance at lower voltage levels then the typical Dual Polarity or AC processes. This reduces the
electrical stress imposed on hangers, bushings, cables, diodes, etc.

Natco NWL Grid Transformers

- 5 – 250 KVA sizes (sized to grid area requirements)
- Primary voltage: 240, 400, 480, 600 VAC, 50 Hz or 60 Hz rating, 1 phase
