Filtaire – Contaminant Separator
The Filtaire is a filtering device designed to trap heavy hydrocarbons commonly present in LPG vapor. It also
traps other materials, which may be in the gas due to storage conditions and internal condition of the equipment.
Impurities are collected in the system and periodically removed through the system blow down drain. Residual
heavy end hydrocarbons with boiling points higher than pure LPG are trapped by the filter and fall to the bottom
for removal.
A complete Filtaire system consists of inlet and outlet connections, a blow-down drain (5), a pressure gauge (4), a
vent which is normally plugged (6), and a bypass valve system for cleaning (1, 2, and 3). The bypass valves
enable the system to continue operating when the Filtaire is removed for cleaning.

Leak Test
1. Close outlet valve.
2. Slowly open inlet valve and allow pressure to equalize in the vaporizer.
3. Apply a small amount of soap/water solution to ALL pipe connections.
4. Check for any leaks by observing new bubble formation in the soap/water solution.
Repair any leaks before continuing.
