At Aces Process, we enhance the efficiency and durability of your system with our steam separators. Discover our high-quality steam separators and rediscover the power of your steam system!
What is a Separator?
Separators are process equipment used to separate different layers or phases within a mixture. Separation principles are based on physical methods such as centrifugal force, gravity, or mechanical filtration. In industrial applications, they are used to improve process efficiency and product quality, especially in the chemical, petroleum, food, and water treatment sectors.
Steam Separator Manufacturing
Successful completion of 43 separator tank manufacturing for Thyssenkrupp: We are proud to announce that the factory acceptance tests of 43 separator tanks we produced for Thyssenkrupp have been successfully completed and are ready for shipment. This project once again proves Aces Process's expertise in design engineering and manufacturing.
Operating Principle of Separators
The operating principle of separators is based on the physical properties of the different layers within the mixture. These differences include:
-
Density: Solids tend to be denser than liquids. Therefore, a liquid-solid mixture can be separated using centrifugal force.
-
Particle Size: Solid particles can be of different sizes. Therefore, different sized solid particles can be separated using a sieve or filter.
-
Surface Tension: Liquids can have different surface tensions. Therefore, a liquid-liquid mixture can be separated using methods such as foam separation or extraction.
-
Magnetizability: Some solids are magnetic. Therefore, magnetic solids can be separated from other solids using a magnetic separator.

Types of Separators
Separators can be categorized into 6 main types:
-
Centrifugal Separators: Separates liquid-solid or liquid-liquid mixtures using centrifugal force.
-
It is the most common type of separator and is used in various fields such as juice production, wastewater treatment, and oil and gas processing.
-
-
Screening Separators: Used to separate solid particles of different sizes.
-
It can separate solid particles of different sizes based on the size of the screening holes.
-
Used to separate solids like sand and gravel.
-
-
Filter Separators: Used to separate smaller particles such as dust and bacteria.
-
Can separate particles of different sizes using filters with different pore sizes.
-
Used in areas such as air and liquid filtration.
-
-
Foam Separators: Used to separate liquids with different surface tensions, such as oil and water.
-
Separates oil droplets from water using air bubbles.
-
Used in wastewater treatment and food processing.
-
-
Extraction Separators: Used to separate a dissolved substance from a solid.
-
Uses liquid-liquid extraction or gas-liquid extraction methods.
-
Used in the chemical industry and pharmaceutical production.
-
-
Magnetic Separators: Used to separate magnetic solids from other solids.
-
Collects magnetic solids using a magnetic field.
-
Used for separating magnetic minerals such as iron ore.
-
In addition to these, there are less common types of separators such as:
-
Vortex Separators: Separates liquid-solid mixtures using vortex flow instead of centrifugal force.
-
Surface Tension Separators: Separates liquid-liquid mixtures using surface tension differences.
-
Electrostatic Separators: Separates solid particles using electrostatic charges.
-
Ultrasonic Separators: Separates solid particles using ultrasonic waves.
The choice of separator depends on the properties of the layers to be separated and the separation method.
