suction piping. Make sure the pre-strainer lid is securely fastened and the gasket is
not pinched.
With liquid flowing through the separator, check and record the inlet and outlet
pressure gauge readings. Also record the pressure differential. The pressure
differential (psid) is the difference between the outlet and inlet pressure readings.
For adequate separator performance, the pressure drop should be in the range of 3
to 10 psid.
Note: The separator size is determined by the flow rate through the separator. If
the separator is too large for the flow, insufficient pressure differential will result and
negatively affect separator performance.
The following table indicates recommended flow ranges for PEP InterSeptor
Centrifugal Separators (ICS). Optimal pressure differential is realized when running
the separator within the prescribed operating flow range.
