Mueller KLS Helical Coil Separator - An Introduction

Mueller Environmental Designs, Inc. has developed and patented a breakthrough in separation technology. The Mueller KLS Helical Coil Separator utilizes impingement and coalescing techniques along with strong inertial forces to separate liquid and solid contaminants from the natural gas stream.

The Mueller KLS Helical Coil Separator has been in service for over 10 years (5 different helical element iterations) with the first unit going into service in 2000. Since that time, Mueller Environmental Designs, Inc. has sold over 100 units in varying applications throughout the natural gas industry.

The separation capabilities of the Mueller KLS Helical Coil Separator are made possible by the helical coil element geometry. The helical element has been engineered to maximize the separation efficiency. The helical coil element uses liquid impingement and inertial forces to maximize the collection of sub-micron aerosols.

The Mueller KLS Helical Coil Separator has been engineered to maximize the separation methods associated with the helical coil technology. CFD analysis shows that the velocity patterns throughout the Mueller KLS Helical Coil Separator are unchanged due to the flow rate. This means that the inertial fields and the separation mechanism exist independently of the gas flow rate.
