Coalescing Systems

Coalescing plate separators were designed to overcome some of the disadvantages of API empty-tank type separators and provide separation of hydrocarbons from water streams in more compact and efficient systems. API separators are designed to remove 150 micron and larger droplets, and have effluent quality in the range of 150 mg/l, whereas coalescing plate separators may be designed to removed droplets down to 20 microns or less with effluent qualities down to 10 mg/l or less. Since oil is usually present in a spectrum of small droplet sizes, the value of coalescing plate type separators may readily be seen as they produce relatively pure oil and do not require the use of absorbents which become waste when used.

MSR coalescing plate module separators combine the best features of highly efficient flat plate separators and solids tolerant tilted plate separators.
