Innopipe, invented by Saskatchewan’s Miles Haukeness, makes use of a well-known property of liquids in gas lines:

Annular flow.

Where ordinary separators interrupt the entire gas and liquid flows with a stop-start process requiring gas disengagement time, Innopipe separates liquids from gas streams on the fly, while interrupting only a small portion of the total flow with negligible residence time for liquids.

This results in optimal efficiency vs conventional separation methods; decreased delta P across the system with commensurate energy savings, but most importantly proven painless liquids removal.

The results:

• Much less money spent to deal with liquids (the higher the pressure and pipe dia., the more you save)
• Corrosion/erosion elimination (no liquids to corrode pipe)
• No compressor downtime (no more inlet contamination)
• More accurate sonic metering (single phase metering without liquids)
• Less pigging (no corrosion products to clean up)
• Bi-directional use (storage cavern operators love dry gas coming in & out)
• Relief for existing inlet separation (removing gas upstream = more liquid retention volume)
• Fewer pipeline blowdowns

For overseas applications, we build in-country under license in partnership with local pressure vessel and pipe fabricators to minimize logistics challenges and installed costs and keep your local workforce engaged.
