Upstream
The upstream part of the oil and gas business is comprised of production facilities. These facilities are where hydrocarbons are first recovered in the process. Pall filtration and separation solutions increase oil recovery rates, help maximize output and efficiently dispose of produced water.

Midstream
Transportation of produced fluids, gas processing, and LNG production is what comprises the midstream segment. The complex system of pipelines, compressor stations and access points move product to endpoints. Separation of oil, gas and water and the removal of solid contaminants is essential prior to pipeline transportation.

Downstream
Oil and gas refining process rely on the purity of feed streams for efficient process reactions. Removal of fluid and particulate contaminants from feed streams and fluid recirculation processes is essential for improving refining efficiency. Pall’s advanced filtration solutions deliver premium filtration and fluid separation performance for a variety of refining applications.

Oil & Gas Filtration, Separation and Solutions
Advanced filtration solutions for the oil & gas industry deliver enhanced filtration performance across the upstream, midstream, and downstream business units for reduced operating costs and improved process efficiency.
Effective and reliable filtration is extremely important through the production, transportation, and refining of produced hydrocarbons. Failure to remove contaminants from critical processes results in decreased process efficiency, increased operating costs and heightened risk of damaging sensitive equipment downstream.
While each filtration step is extremely important, upstream filtration operations sets the stage for the rest of the journey for produced hydrocarbons. Mistakes in this part of the business can cascade and magnify resulting in extensive maintenance downtime for pipeline or equipment repairs. This same principal applies until the very last filtration step of the refining process. Implementing an optimized oil & gas filtration strategy across the business is key to reducing operating costs, minimizing downtime and improving overall business performance.
As the global leader in advanced filtration technology, we have developed premium oil & gas filtration solutions for all aspects of the industry, which improve contaminant removal, reduce the frequency of maintenance activities, meet end-product quality specifications and lower operating costs for a streamlined and optimized hydrocarbon processing operation.
The oil & gas industry is comprised of an extremely complex network of processing and pipeline equipment. For this series of piping and equipment to reliably function at its highest level – the fluids being transported must effectively be filtered, along with the ancillary fluid loops, like the equipment lubricants, catalysts, and solvents. Ineffective filtration at any point in the process can result in costly consequences that intensify as you move further downstream in the process.
From upstream solids removal and fluid separation, to midstream compressor reliability, to the precision downstream refining processes – Oil & gas filtration requirements are incredibly diverse. Our line of coalescer elements deliver premium solids removal and fluid separation in the upstream segment that aids in preventing contaminants from damaging downstream pipelines and process equipment. Phase separation and particulate removal in the downstream segment promote high efficiency processes. Filtration for lubricant oil systems ensure midstream compressor reliability to minimize downtime as well as preserve the life of capital equipment

SepraSol™ Plus Liquid/Gas Coalescer
Clean, aerosol free gas is critical to equipment reliability and optimized operations in the refinery and chemical industries. Pall's SepraSol™ liquid/gas coalescers provide high-efficiency liquid and solid removal from contaminated gases reducing maintenance and operating costs.
Midstream
Our advanced filtration solutions for midstream oil and gas processes remove contaminants and separate fluids with unmatched effectiveness and reliability for streamlined operations and improved business performance.
Midstream transportation and processing of hydrocarbons from production location to refining facilities requires the collaboration of multiple complex processes that rely on a variety of fluid filtration processes for reliable operation.
While it is crucial to separate and filter produced oil, gas, and water to preserve pipelines and downstream equipment, other fluids such as lubricants and solvents are equally important for the reliability and efficiency of the fluid transfer and processing operations. Our advanced filtration solutions for midstream operations effectively and reliably separate and filter produced fluids, solvents and lubricants to minimize maintenance downtime, lower operating costs, extend the life of capital equipment and improve business performance.

AquaSep® Plus L/L Coalescer System
Entrained water in liquid hydrocarbons and chemicals can be a problem. This is particularly true for fuels that contain high concentrations of surfactants which are readily present in hydrocarbons and chemicals (see below). Surfactants make water removal difficult for conventional liquid/liquid coalescers and other water separation equipment because they lower the interfacial tension between the water and the continuous phase fluid.
