A Brodie air treatment (air eliminator) device is a specialized flow-system component that removes trapped air and vapor from liquid piping to protect flow meters and improve measurement accuracy in industrial liquid handling systems.

Description

Air treatment

The Brodie air eliminator is an engineered fluid-processing accessory used primarily in petroleum, industrial, and chemical transfer systems. It’s designed to automatically separate and expel entrained air or vapor bubbles from liquid streams before the fluid enters flow meters or pumps. Because volumetric meters and turbine meters cannot distinguish between liquid and air, the presence of air can cause metering inaccuracies, overspeeding of the measuring unit, excessive wear, or even equipment failure. Brodie air eliminators prevent these problems by providing a dedicated chamber and screening system that allows air and vapor to rise and escape while letting liquid pass through uninterrupted
