Separators

Glass Separators are precision-engineered vessels designed for effective separation of different phases such as liquid–liquid, liquid–solid, or gas–liquid systems. Manufactured from borosilicate glass 3.3, these separators provide excellent chemical resistance, thermal stability, and full visual clarity, making them ideal for laboratory, pilot plant, and industrial glass process systems.

They operate primarily on gravity settling, density difference, or controlled flow separation, ensuring smooth and disturbance-free phase disengagement.

How Does a Separator Work?

1. Mixed phases enter the separator vessel
2. Flow velocity is reduced to allow settling or disengagement
3. Heavier phase settles at the bottom
4. Lighter phase rises or exits from a designated outlet
5. Separated phases are withdrawn through independent outlets

Transparent construction allows real-time observation of the separation interface.
