New multicyclone projects get underway…
KIRK Process has started engineering design on three projects requiring KMCE multicyclones for mainly solids removal from gas streams.
One is small and very high pressure, with 2 elements and an ID of 200mm; another for 3 vessels operates at medium-high pressure and with 30 to 50+ elements in ID’s of up to 1000mm; the third is low pressure and over 200 elements in an ID of 2000mm. All customers are located in the Asia / Asia-Pacific region.
KIRK’s unique design of low-cost, removable cyclone elements is proving to be an attractive benefit to customers and end users.
KIRK Process recently supervised the installation of internals into a number of Separators for a client in the Middle East. The pressure vessels ranged up to 2,100 mm ID x 10,000 mm long and were fitted with KVID vane inlet diffusers, KMP matrix coalescer packs and KWM mist eliminators as well as baffles and other liquid distributors.
Despite the slow down in the oil production led business sector, we were pleased to receive a steady flow of orders in Q1 covering our full range of products and services. Several contracts were concluded for our process consultancy service including all aspects of separator internals design such as inlet cyclones and coalescer packs. We also saw increases in business for our KWM mesh mist eliminators, plus some larger orders covering our KVID inlet diffusers and KVH vane pack demisters. Two new contracts for our KSME swirl mist eliminators were also received – one of which utilises our cost effective and low weight polyamide variant.
Early in 2016 KIRK Process Solutions were pleased to add our 30th Licensee of SEP-Calc separator design software. These popular design spreadsheets are now used throughout the world by a wide range of customers active in the oil and gas separation business, including operators, process houses, fabricators and specialist internals companies who are keen to take advantage of the competitive technical edge available.
