Midstream compressor and metering stations receive natural gas and remove impurities prior to transporting it to the next pipeline segment for distribution to end users. Effective removal of these contaminants prevents costly problems and downtime with downstream equipment such as compressors and turbines. Impurities can impinge on compressor internals, for example, leading to performance instability and unexpected maintenance shutdowns.

In order to protect the integrity and performance of compression and measurement equipment, the installation of safe, reliable and easy to maintain filter separators is critical.
