PhaseSep® EL Coalescers
Separate Liquid/Liquid Dispersions on Harsh, Hot, or Dirty Streams
Optimize Coalescer and/or Pre-filter Life
Pall’s new PhaseSep EL coalescer provides chemical/petrochemical, oil & gas and refinery plants’ aggressive or high temperature streams with improved separation efficiency via a coarse coalescer format, differentiating from bulk separators and commodity coalescers by achieving low OPEX and lower CAPEX with high efficiency contaminant separation. The PhaseSep EL coalescer is expected to perform well in applications with the presence of high solids and difficult oil/water emulsions.
PhaseSep EL Coalescer vs. ‘Original’ PhaseSep Coalescer
- Lower OPEX from longer pre-filter and coalescer life due to coarser ratings
- Directly retrofittable with PhaseSep coalescer
- Uses new medium specifically selected to yield desired performance in target applications
The PhaseSep EL system is typically a multiple-stage system, starting with prefiltration to remove particulate matter, followed by either a one-stage horizontal coalescer or two-stage integrated vertical coalescer/separator stack to separate the two liquid phases. PhaseSep EL coalescers will remove oil and grease to a level of 20 ppmw, or free water to a level as low as 15 ppmv and be effective over a wide range of conditions such as inlet liquid contaminant concentration as high as 0.1% and interfacial tension less than 10 dynes/cm1.
The PhaseSep EL coalescer system is available in two different housing configurations. Both configurations begin with a filtration stage to remove solid contaminants.
Table 1. Coalescer System Selection Guide
Process Condition | Recommended Product |
The dispersed phase fluid is aqueous and a horizontal footprint is acceptable | PhaseSep EL coalescer in a horizontal housing without separator |
The dispersed phase fluid is oil and the continuous phase fluid is aqueous | |
The dispersed phase fluid is aqueous and minimal footprint is required | PhaseSep EL coalescer/separator stack in a vertical housing |
PhaseSep EL Coalescer - Horizontal Housing Configuration
In a horizontal housing, the liquid/liquid mixture enters the coalescing element and flows inside-to-outside, small liquid dispersed phase droplets suspended in the continuous phase come together, or coalesce, as the mixture moves through the PhaseSep EL coalescer. The large coalesced droplets of the dispersed phase separate by gravity in the horizontal housing and are removed. The size of the housing is a function of the flow rate, IFT, viscosity, and specific gravity of the liquids.
PhaseSep EL Coalescer/Separator Stack - Vertical Housing Configuration
Contaminant-free liquid and large droplets of the dispersed phase flow toward the separator located directly below the coalescer stage. The flow is outside-toinside. The separator medium is hydrophobic preventing the aqueous phase from entering the separator. Only the non-aqueous continuous phase fluid flows through the separator. The two liquids are removed by separate drain connections.

응용분야
Not all coalescers provide a high efficiency quantitative removal of dispersed liquid contaminants and can handle emulsions with low interfacial tensions (IFTs). For example, conventional cartridge and mesh pack coalescers made of glass fiber media begin to lose efficiency when the IFT of the emulsion gets below 20 dynes/cm. In contrast, the new PhaseSep EL coalescer from Pall is constructed of a high-efficiency, engineered polymer medium, making it well suited for numerous aggressive service liquid/liquid separation applications with low IFTs.

- Hydrocarbon removal from sour water on streams with wide-ranging pH variation
- De-oiling of produced water streams
- Ensure final product quality specifications are maintained
