Abstract
The Institute or Gas Technology has investigated a combined sonic agglomeration/crossflow filtration system to remove particles smaller than 10 microns from high-temperature, high-pressure gas streams. Sonic energy induces agglomeration so that particles can be removed in a continuously operating cross-flow filler element. Cold-model and preliminary high-temperature, high-pressure results are promising. The objective of this investigation was to explore the potential effectiveness of sonic agglomeration, crossflow filtration, and a combination of these techniques to remove particles from high-temperature, high-pressure (HTHP) gas streams. The technique of sonic agglomeration has been known since the 1930's, and crossflow filtration has been used successfully in liquid filtration. This investigation is unique in that these two techniques were combined. Sonic energy was used to agglomerate particles to sizes large enough to be separated from the gas stream in a crossflow filter. The crossflow filter has adv...
