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.

Industrial Steam Separators

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.

Reasons to Invest in Didion Moisture Separators

Did you know that in some cases, even 5% moisture in your steam-heated or steam-driven equipment can cause a sizeable loss of performance efficiencies? One of the best solutions to eliminating wet steam is by using high quality industrial moisture separators. Didion Separator Company offers three highly efficient steam separator models—Type DSL model, Type DST model, and Type DSU model. Also, we can design custom units to meet your unique requirements.

Industrial Moisture Separators

Water droplets and suspended particulate matter measuring 10 microns or more can be effectively removed using a moisture separator. Our separators can eliminate up to 99% of all entrainment from gas, air, and vapor pipelines. You can expect negligible pressure drop levels during this process. Our standard or custom separators can be provided in versatile configurations depending on your requirements.

Simply stated, moisture separators are a low-cost insurance against moisture-related threats that can damage the internal elements of several machines. For instance, high velocity steam contains water droplets. When these water droplets continually hit the internals of your equipment, they cause an erosive effect.

1. At Didion Separator Company, we stand committed to the safety and efficiency of your processes. Here are some facts about our steam separators.
2.  Standard steam separator models can be shipped for delivery immediately. For custom models, it could take four to six weeks (or slightly longer depending on external factors such as material availability).
3. All standard 150# units are designed for 150 psig @ 500° F., and all standard 300# units are designed for 500 psig @ 650° F.
4. We use the highest quality stainless steel internal elements in all our moisture separators to guarantee corrosion-free service for years.
5. We hold ASME stamps for the manufacturing of pressure vessels to ASME Sect. VIII (Div 1 & 2), for the manufacturing of Power Boilers to ASME Sect. 1, and for the manufacturing of Pressure Piping to ASME Sect. 1 and B31.1. We also hold the National Board Stamp for repairs and alterations to Code Stamped equipment.

These are but a few things you can expect when you partner with Didion Separator Company. To know more about our moisture separators, please visit our website at www.didionseparator.com.
