World-Class Separation Technology
Shell Swirltube™ Light
The Shell Swirltube Light is available as a competitive alternative for high capacity bulk separation. The Swirltube Light is based on the sophisticated de-entrainment device from the Shell ConSep™ Tray technology.

Recommended use:

  • comparable performance to vane packs but with higher liquid handling capacity.
  • operation possible at higher pressures than vane packs.
  • because of compactness, suitable for offshore industry or in general for high pressure conditions.
  • for debottlenecking of existing separators.
  • for high turndowns (up to factor 10).
  • attractive for slightly fouling service and may be used where double-pocket vanes or wire mesh mist eliminators may become plugged.
