VORSOMAX® cyclonic inlet device

This patented inlet device consists of a manifold and a series of separation cans, where centrifugal force is generated to achieve efficient vapor-liquid separation. 

The VORSOMAX® cyclonic inlet device is designed to manage the momentum of feed streams entering an inlet nozzle, ensuring optimal separation and distribution. By controlling flow dynamics, this advanced device enhances process performance in separation systems while minimizing entrainment and shear forces. The centrifugal force aids in breaking or suppressing foam formation. 

Precision Separation & Improved Vapor Distribution 

The VORSOMAX inlet device optimizes feed handling through controlled momentum reduction, delivering key benefits: 

  • Bulk Liquid & Solid Removal: Using centrifugal forces the bulk liquid and solids are driven apart from the bulk vapor. 
  • Improved Vapor Distribution: Ensures even flow across trays, packing, or mist eliminators, enhancing process efficiency.
  • Minimized Droplet Shatter: Reduces the formation of fine entrainment, improving mist elimination performance.
  • Lower Shear Forces: Prevents liquid turbulence that could cause re-entrainment of previously collected liquid.
  • Foam Management: The centrifugal force aids in breaking or suppressing foam formation.

Compact, High-Performance Design 

The VORSOMAX cyclonic inlet device provides a space-saving and efficient alternative to conventional inlet cyclones: 

  • Reduces liquid load to mist eliminators, improving separation efficiency.
  • Foam suppression for enhanced system stability.
  • Compact modular design allows for easy installation through vessel manways.
  • Custom engineered for both vertical and horizontal vessels to suit process requirements.

 The VORSOMAX cyclonic inlet device ensures reliable performance, reduced vessel size, and enhanced efficiency in separation applications.
