The Sheffield Kinetic Separator utilizes kinetic energy to separate analyzer samples from impurities in a process stream across two chambers. The first chamber effectively removes larger contaminants while the second chamber polishes the sample for analysis, aided by a specialized self-cleaning filter. The system operates under various pressures and flow rates, is capable of removing free water, and is designed to be virtually maintenance-free.

Sheffield SeparatorsTM
The Sheffield Kinetic Separator
uses the kinetic energy of the fast
loop flow to separate the desired
analyzer sample from impurities in
the process stream.

The entering mainstream
flows through the first kinetic
separation chamber and
exits the bottom high return
flow tube.

4. Analyzer Sample Separator
Sheffield SeparatorsTM
System pressure from the
mainstream flow forces a
slipstream in a reverse direction.
The heavier particulate and
condensables from the process
stream continue downward as
the lighter representative
slipstream escapes those
heavier contaminates as it
changes direction.

The components separated
by the direction reversal
travel into the second
kinetic polishing chamber.
As in the first, mainstream
flow continues through the
second chamber and exits
the low flow return tube.

Most contaminates are
separated in the first
chamber. The second
kinetic separation chamber
polishes only the small
amount of sample going to
the analyzer.

The second kinetic polishing
chamber is aided by a

The filter life is greatly
enhanced as only a small
amount of sample goes to
the analyzer.
