Exhibit description
When the gas is still hot, it is pre-cleaned in the collector. However, it still carries such great quantities of contaminants that if an obstacle was placed in its path, it would be quickly covered with a black and sticky substance – tar. This is how a tar separator operates. Gas flows through its grate, cleaning itself of tar.
