King Tool Vertical Filter Separator 24in x 9ft NILVRS-24-9S

The King Tool Vertical Filter Separator, model NILVRS-24-9S, is a robust pressure vessel designed for efficient separation of liquids and solids from natural gas streams in oilfield applications. Manufactured in 2004, this unit features a 24-inch diameter by 9-foot long carbon steel shell, rated for high-pressure operations up to 1440 PSI. It incorporates a cartridge filter bundle with multiple coalescing elements, visible in the internal images, which enhance separation efficiency by capturing fine particles and aerosols. Key applications include natural gas processing, compressor stations, and pipeline protection, where it removes contaminants to prevent equipment damage and ensure product purity. Advantages over similar products include its reverse flow design for improved coalescing, quick-opening closure for easy maintenance, and durable construction suitable for harsh environments. Benefits include high filtration capacity, reduced downtime due to easy cartridge replacement, and compliance with ASME standards (National Board #12208). Drawbacks may include its weight and size, requiring specialized handling, and the need for periodic element replacement in high-contaminant settings. Overall, this used unit offers reliable performance at a fraction of new equipment costs, ideal for midstream operations seeking cost-effective filtration solutions.
