Filter-Separators Enhanced by HAST Demister Pads 

For over 20 years Barton Firtop have designed and 
manufactured Filter Separators and Coalescers for 
the O&G Industry. Having supplied major clients such 
as BP, Esso & Conoco over the years, competitive 
market forces had slowed company growth in this area. 
Now, having exclusive access to HAST demister pads 
and their unique process design capability, we have 
been able to over-haul our 3 Stage Filter-Separator range, 
utilising extremely competitive demister pad internals at 
the 3rd process phase, driving down the overall vessel 
size and cost significantly. The 3 Stage Filter-Separator 
vessels have a first phase of knock-out baffles to remove 
large liquid slugs and large solid contaminants, then a 2nd 
Stage bank of filter separator cartridges will remove fine 
solids and coalesce entrained mist into 'clean-streams' 
which are then passed onto the 3rd stage for final liquid 
removal by the HAST demister pads. High filtration 
efficiency is achieved, designed to meet specific client 
requirements.

The Filter Separators are available in ANSI 150# to 
ANSI 1500# ratings in all material grades and are 
purpose-built to client order specifications. The vessels 
can also be used in liquid-liquid applications to remove 
entrained water from fuels. Preferred design is for vertical 
filter separators but Barton Firtop have manufactured 
many Filter Separators for horizontal vessel installation 
applications, typically for larger vessels >10 tonnes 
(see photo). One & Two Stage Coalescers for 
Gas/Liquid & Liquid/Liquid applications are also available.
