Better Efficiencies with Didion Steam Separators



You’re likely aware that steam with moisture content (wet steam) is detrimental to your process and systems. But it could cause more damage that you imagined. For one, it leads you to spend more on system maintenance. And, steam could be the reason your flow meters and control valves begin to function inconsistently. Experts opine that that wet steam has a direct impact on steam-driven or steam-heated systems, thus resulting in lower productivity.

However, the best part is that there’s a single solution to these multiple problems – industrial steam separators. Didion Separator Company’s moisture separators, available in three models, are highly recommended as they are capable of entraining up to 99% of all entrainment that measures 10 microns and larger. It is effectively used with air, vapor, gas, and steam pipelines. Once installed, Didion steam separators do not cause a significant pressure drop in your systems.

If your needs are unique, Didion Separator Company can create bespoke units for you with the desired efficiencies. All standard 150# units are designed for 150 psig @ 500° F., and all standard 300# units are designed for 500 psig @ 650° F. All of our moisture separators are code-stamped per ASME Section VIII, Div I. Here are our three moisture separator models:

  • Type DSL: This ASME-approved in-line separator is suited for horizontal or vertical down flow.
  • Type DST: This is an ASME compliant horizontal in-line separator.
  • Type DSU: This is a vertical up-flow in-line separator.
