Statement of Problem

• Shale Gas is Wetter than conventional Natural
  Gas
• Conventional Coalescing filters have high
  probability of contaminate carryover
• Contaminate Carryover causes
• Damage to downstream components added
  expense
• Shut in situations reduce revenue

TRADITIONAL OLD STYLE COALESCING
FLOW INSIDE TO OUT REQUIRES UPSTREAM PRE-FILTER
to ELIMINATE SLUGS GROSS CONTAMINATE LIQUIDS
COALESCE ON OUTLET SURACE OF ELEMENT FILTERED

TMs NEW FLOW GFM TECHNOLOGY
FLOW OUTSIDE TO IN POLYPROPYLENE
MEMBRANE BARRIER ISOLATES CONTANINATE FROM GAS
FLOW LIQUIDS COALESCE ON INNER SURFACE OF
ELEMENT NO UPSTREAM PRE-FILTER REQUIRED FLOW
ALLOWS FOR PLEATED ELEMENT AND LARGE SURFACE
