PhaseSep® Coalescers

The PhaseSep liquid/liquid separation equipment is available in several types of high efficiency coalescing medium. These emulsion separators are compatible with virtually all liquids and can efficiently manage liquid/liquid separation.

 

The coalescers offer cost-effective filtration with enhanced efficiency and reduced processing time than conventional coalescers, settlers, and centrifuges.

 

Pall offers the following variants under PhaseSep coalescers.

• PhaseSep® Coalescer

Pall’s PhaseSep coalescer comes with a unique stack design and is available in several different materials to ensure compatibility with virtually any liquid/liquid mixture. Pall’s specifically formulated medium doesn’t disarm in the presence of surfactants and guarantees the longest possible service life.

 

• PhaseSep® EL Series Liquid/Liquid Coalescer

PhaseSep EL Series liquid/liquid coalescer’s coarse format offers enhanced separation efficiency while working with aggressive and high-temperature streams in the oil and gas, refinery, and chemical and petrochemical industries. Ideal for applications involving high solids and difficult oil/water emulsions, the coalescers are directly retrofittable with the standard PhaseSep coalescer. The filters use a new medium specifically selected to yield the desired performance in target applications. The PhaseSep EL coalescers are available in two different housing configurations that begin with a filtration stage for solid contaminant removal.

 

• PhaseSep® HE Series Liquid/Liquid Coalescer

The fluoropolymer medium of PhaseSep HE Series liquid/liquid coalescer delivers high-efficiency separation of the toughest emulsions. The filter is designed to separate emulsions with interfacial tension as low as 0.5 dyne/cm and process inlet dispersed liquid contaminant concentrations as high as 10%. PhaseSep HE series filter decreases sodium to <0.5 ppmw in refinery products and removes sodium down to <= 1 ppmw in cumene hydroperoxide. The filter is highly compatible with a wide range of corrosive solvents in chemicals, refining, biotechnology, and flavor & fragrance industries.

 

• PhaseSep® Y Series Liquid/Liquid Coalescer 

The high-efficiency separation cartridge of PhaseSep Y Series liquid/liquid coalescer is built entirely from FDA listed polyolefin material. It makes it ideal for a wide range of filtration applications in biotechnology, flavor and fragrance, and chemical industries with diverse pH and temperature ranges. The coalescer media comprises three-layered tapered pore construction for efficient separation of liquids with low interfacial tension. Its high void volume medium provides enhanced protection to the downstream equipment resulting in longer service life.

 

• PhaseSep® A/S Series Liquid/Liquid Coalescer

PhaseSep A/S Series liquid/liquid coalescer offers high-efficiency phase separation at a lower cost and reduced process time than its conventional counterparts. Designed for separating emulsions with interfacial tension as low as 0.5 dyne/cm, PhaseSep A/S Series coalescers typically remove free phase liquid contaminants to a level of 50-350 ppmw based on the gravimetric analysis. The filters are available in a wide range of materials such as fluoropolymers and polymers to offer compatibility with a broad range of liquids.
