Trouble-shooting Guidelines for Separator
Installations

9. Air Relief Ports: The appropriate air relief ports should be used at start-up to expel air from the
separator.
If the separator will be drained periodically or exposed to entrained air or gases from the piping
system, air vents should be permanently installed.
10. Down Stream Filtration: The use of finer filtration (polishing) downstream from the separator is a
common application. Be aware, however, that the barrier filter (as it accumulates more solids)
causes an increasing pressure loss, which may cause the flow rate of the system to be reduced -
sometimes below the recommended flow rate of the separator. This situation will often reveal
itself when typically separable solids begin to show up regularly on the downstream barrier filter
(leading to the assumption that the separator is not operating as expected). Always check for
variations in the flow rate when downstream conditions change.
