INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Inlet/Outlet Manifold

Inlet/Outlet Manifold for separation units that distributes and collects process fluids efficiently.

Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered fluid distribution component in separation units that manages the entry and exit of process streams through multiple ports, ensuring uniform flow distribution, pressure equalization, and minimal turbulence to optimize separation efficiency.
Working Principle
Operates by channeling incoming fluid through multiple inlet ports into the separation chamber and collecting separated streams through outlet ports, utilizing internal baffles or channels to maintain laminar flow and prevent cross-contamination between phases.
Materials
Stainless steel 316L (ASTM A240), PTFE-lined carbon steel, or duplex stainless steel 2205 for corrosive applications; pressure-rated to 150 PSI at 150°C.
