Hanover 20" x 12' Horizontal Filter Separator V03-248

The Hanover 20" x 12' Horizontal Filter Separator is a robust pressure vessel designed for efficient separation of liquids, solids, and gases in oil and gas processing applications. Manufactured by The Hanover Company in 2003, this unit features a horizontal cylindrical body with a 20-inch outer diameter and 12-foot length, complemented by a vertical sump for enhanced liquid collection. It is ideal for high-pressure environments, such as natural gas filtration, where it removes contaminants like water, oil mist, and particulates from gas streams. Key benefits include high-pressure rating up to 1440 PSI, durable carbon steel construction certified to ASME standards, and modular design for easy maintenance of internal filter elements. Advantages over similar products include its compact footprint for skid-mounted installations and reliable performance in harsh field conditions. Drawbacks may include the need for periodic filter replacement and potential corrosion in untreated environments, as evidenced by external rust. This used unit shows signs of wear but remains structurally sound, making it suitable for refurbishment in midstream operations. Internal images reveal wire mesh or cartridge-style filters, with no visible major damage. Applications span pipeline stations, compressor facilities, and dehydration plants, offering cost-effective filtration compared to larger vertical separators.
