Coalescing
Systems from Serfilco
Liquid/liquid
separation to less than 10 ppm Reclaim, re-use, recycle
Coalescing Systems from Serfilco are used to provide liquid/liquid
separation of non-emulsified solutions up to 150ºF. The systems
are compact, economical, and simple to operate. They remove oils
from rinse waters, cleaning solutions, plating solutions or waste
effluents. They also separate water or tramp oil from hydraulic
fluids and machining coolants.
These highly effective systems pump, prefilter and separate non-emulsified
fluids having a .09 or greater difference in specific gravity.
Solution is pumped through the prefilter to the coalescing element
where small droplets are held until they grow large enough to
float to the top of the coalescing chamber. The light phase is
discharged from the top of the coalescing chamber, the heavy phase
is discharged from the bottom of the coalescing chamber. The unwanted
phase (heavy or light) is periodically bled off via a manual flow
control valve. Purified solution is directed back to the tank
or reservoir for re-use. Recovered effluent contains less than
10 ppm of the discontinuous phase. Carbon purification can be
added to polish the solution.
Standard Coalescing Systems from Serfilco include pump, prefilter
and coalescing chamber with manual light and heavy phase discharge
valves. Prefilter media of 5 to 10 micron is required to protect
the coalescing element. If properly protected, the coalescing
element has indefinite life. Selecting a system with greater prefilter
capacity will reduce prefilter cartridge and coalescing element
consumption. Coalescing of fluids with excessive particulate loading
is best accomplished when the solution is first clarified with
a separate filtration system. |
