Anderson Separators
Receiver Type LR Separators
Type LR Separators are receiver type separators custom designed and engineered for handling heavy liquid loads and extremely large slugs of entrainment in vapor or gas handling systems. Consisting of an Anderson separation element inside a large receiver, the sudden reduction of velocity that occurs once the gas or vapor flow passes the inlet causes a large percentage of the entrainment to drop to the bottom of the separator.
Any entrainment remaining is virtually eliminated by the centrifugal action of the separator inside the receiver. Three inlet/outlet configurations are available to meet the widest range of installation requirements. Other nozzle arrangements are available upon request.

How It Works
Velocity Reduction
Gas or vapor flow enters the large receiver vessel. The sudden increase in cross-sectional area causes a dramatic reduction in velocity.
Gravity Separation
The reduced velocity allows a large percentage of entrained liquid to drop by gravity to the bottom collection chamber.
Centrifugal Polishing
Remaining entrainment passes through the internal Anderson centrifugal separation element, virtually eliminating all remaining liquid carryover.
