The KLS-1B is a high performance vertical separator designed for small to medium gas volumes with heavy liquid loading or slugs. The two stage design utilizes an initial knockout section for bulk contaminate removal. Entrained aerosols and particulate contaminates then follow the gas path upwards into the helical coils for high efficiency separation. The KLS-1B uses two separate sumps and dump systems to collect and dispose of contaminants.

Dry black powder particulates ranging in size from 0.2 to 0.4 microns are the most challenging of pipeline contaminants to collect. Muellers patented high-pressure liquid injection system is proven to solve that problem, injecting liquid directly into the gas stream at the inlet nozzle creating a black powder slurry that is then effectively removed using the KLS Helical Coil Separator. The liquid slurry is then deposited in the contaminate collection sump allowing normal liquid dump valves to be utilized. The KLS Injection System is not only superior at removing black powder, it does so without the replacement costs and downtime of gas filter technology.

The KLS-1C vertical separator for pipeline quality gas is our most compact design making it ideal for metering skids and removal of carryover from amine and glycol contactor towers. The absence of a bulk removal section eliminates the need for a second dump valve and controls. The KLS Helical Coil Separator utilizes impingement, coalescence, and inertia to provide maximum contaminant removal efficiencies, outperforming all current traditionally accepted separation methods. The Mueller KLS has become the industry standard for removal of black powder, pipeline iron sulfides, iron oxides, lube oils, glycol, liquid hydrocarbons, condensate and salts.

he Mueller KLS-2 horizontal separator is commonly used when the application has large gas andor contaminate volume flows. The KLS-2 utilizes a first stage buffer where large contaminate volume separates from the gas stream due to gravity. The gas, free of bulk contaminate, flows into the helical coils for high efficiency contaminate removal. Two internally isolated collection sumps are emptied using separate dump lines.

Mueller Environmental has developed various ways to remove large liquid volumes from pipelines without the need for additional downstream separation while also accommodating footprint restrictions. Our KLS-2FS Finger Skid configuration is a highly versatile design, especially useful where access and topography preclude large tank-style vessels. Like all Mueller equipment it is designed to meet the unique specifications of each installation, and weve configured the finger storage in an astounding range of sizes. The popular KLS series is known for its reliabilityIn hundreds of installations under all manner of conditions spanning well over a decade of service, no KLS unit has ever failed.

Mueller Environmental has developed various ways to remove large liquid volumes from pipelines without the need for additional downstream separation while also accommodating footprint restrictions. Our KLS-1BSC submarine configuration is a highly versatile design available in a wide range of sizes enabling storage volumes up to 20, 000 gallons per unit (96 ID x 50 L). It can be configured with appropriate ladders and platforms, and like all Mueller equipment is designed to meet the unique specifications of each installation.

The Mueller Model VTS Waste Tank Vent Mist Extractor for pipeline suction scrubber sump vent applications removes entrained lubrication, condensation, water and other fluids from venting natural gas over a wide range of discharge exhaust flows. With no moving parts, the VTS is highly reliable and its operating principle has been widely field proven. As natural gas and entrained fluids enter the VTS via the inlet nozzle, flow impinges on two distinct stages of separation, removing the entrained fluids, with only clean gas ultimately venting to the atmosphere.
