Analysis of a filter used in the natural gas gathering system: Recommendations on the measuring of the pressure drop

Abstract

The article presents some results of a research work carried out at the request of a company producing natural gas filters. The main requirement was to verify the recipient of the pressure drop of the filters in various constructive shapes, in a range of flow rates, pressures and temperatures at which the gas passing through the filter. The paper highlighted a number of issues that could affect the filtration process and durability of the filters. There are indicated solutions for a better measuring of the pressure drop on the filter element.
