Working on Scruber


Scrubber unit top pipe is a gas inlet. The  gas runs through filters  inside on left side of unit and cycles through to right side outlet. the two bottom boots are for extracting any liquid in the gas before it goes on into the turbine to be compressed and pushed on through the mainline.
This is the inside of a filter separator also known as  scrubber.  A scrubber is a filtration system that is used to filter all particles in the main gas line before it enters the compressor it has a total of 64 six foot filters. We replaced the filters and the oring on this unit.  


  The ring that holds the door to the scrubber is held together by 2 bolts and a safety pin that compress to tighten the door. There is a rubber oring to seal the gas from leaking out which is set in a grove which must be lubed with lubriplate to prevent from rolling it out when tightening the clam shell door.

Air respirator and fire retardant and chemical retardant protective gear is necessary to work on a scrubber..
