Shawndra Products™ Inc. developed the first coalescing pipeline R100™ filter in response to the competition’s expensive-to- maintain and operate alternatives. The R100™ is specifically designed to reduce maintenance, downtime and element replacement costs. The R100™ series filter takes advantage of gravity in an advantageous way verse the competition, allowing liquid droplets to coalesce (and drain without impeding on each individual element) compared to the competitions horizontal loading designs, which creates a constantly liquid environment inside the vessel virtually ensuring downstream re-entrainment.

Coalescing means “to grow together” - impinging on the filter media to grow to a droplet and fall into the bottom of the element (coalesce), and finally draining off the element. The R100™ series filter is a horizontal pipeline filter with extended surface area vertical elements. Element service life has been extended tenfold and more. A complete service can be accomplished with a single 3/4” adjustable wrench in less than 1.5 hours.

R-Series™ filters remove the solid particles and liquids from natural gas, vastly reducing or eliminating service to engines, turbines and other compressors, valves and meters. Superior filtration is achieved first through inertial impaction, secondly through gravitational settling, and thirdly through a nearly vertical coalescing multi-stage filter element with efficiencies of 99.99% of 0.1 micron and higher. Our media has been independently lab tested using various oils as contaminants with lab data available upon request.
