Effective separation can be achieved only when separation equipment and it’s inner devices work together as a high-performance system. An effective entry nozzle device performs a volumetric pre-separation and provides a uniform flow distribution within a device.
A blade-type inlet nozzle is used for gas/liquid flow entry in horizontal and vertical separators where equal flow distribution is required. It’s advantages over simple deflectors (plate type) are effective initial separation and decreased foam formation which increase general performance.
Usually nozzles are designed for inlet pressure <8000 Pa but some designs perform great even under higher pressures.
