New Liquid/Liquid Coalescers pass the test for improved filtration

22 May, 2023

Offering a verified efficiency to capture rates, UNIQ-FLOW Liquid/Liquid Coalescers enable a reduction in vessel size and a longer time between filter changes, which results in a lower total cost of ownership (TCO).

The manufacturer says UNIQFLOW L/L coalescers are designed to help customers improve product quality, reduce or remove unwanted haze and impurities, and recover other valuable products. Typical applications include biofuels, condensate cooling, MEG removal, amine gas sweetening, removal of water from diesel, kerosine or condensates, recovery of hydrocarbons from water, and glycol applications 

UNIQ-FLOW L/L Coalescers were performance tested against their nearest rivals in the market using ASTM test standards and jet fuel as the test medium. The manufacturer says the test results showed that UNIQ-FLOW L/L Coalescers both met and exceeded the in-service efficiency threshold of 20ppm stipulated in many leading end user specifications and could also meet more stringent <10ppm thresholds.

Droplet sizes observed during testing were considerably larger than expected, which shortens the separation distance significantly and reduces the overall length of the vessel. Flux rate (flow per cartridge) was also higher than originally envisaged. A clear interface between water and fuel and excellent stable droplet formation were also observed.

UNIQ-FLOW L/L Coalescers are equipped with both pleated polymer & glass fibre filtration media in absolute ratings at 10 microns. They are available in standard size ranges or can be custom designed to meet individual process requirements for optimum performance.

Housing constructions are offered in a range of carbon, alloy, stainless steel and duplex stainless-steel materials with alloy 625 / 825 overlayed materials. Each unit is designed specific to end user code requirements including ASME U-1, PED, GB-150 and PD5500, amongst others.
