Feed Inlet Devices

We offer a variety of feed inlet devices. To choose the appropriate equipment, the required purpose of the feed inlet device has to be taken into account. Vapor distribution, liquid pre-separation, foam suppression, breaking of momentum or any combination of these phenomena have to be addressed.

Gas dehydration plants
Compression systems and suction drums

Shell Schoepentoeter™ and Schoepentoeter Plus™

The Schoepentoeter™ is a proprietary Shell vane type inlet device that is used to introduce gas/liquid mixtures into a vessel or column. The Schoepentoeter Plus™ is an advanced vane feed inlet device with significantly improved de-entrainment efficiency.

GIRZ Cyclonic Inlet Device

The Sulzer GIRZ is a cyclonic inlet device that is used to suppress and break many types of process foams. Some typical applications include free water knock-out drums, flash drums, test separators, and 2 and 3-phase production separators.
