The liquid-liquid coalescers are designed specifically to remove the emulsified water of hydrocarbons. These are available in many options for medium and in packs for liquid passage. The fluid is passed through this coalescer through the medium as tiny suspended droplets which are further converted to larger droplets. Larger droplets respond better to gravity and works better in oil and gas industry. According to the different types of packs each column internals make, the conversion and absorption of fluid droplets change. Here are some of the types of packing for liquid-liquid coalescers.
1. Plate packs
The separation of oil and water is done with droplets settling. The plate pack coalescer is used in the liquid session so as to optimize the degree of liquid-liquid separation. They are highly used for appliances where fouling is required. The medium often used in these plates include depth polyesters.
2. Matrix packs
These are quite strong and sturdy being made out of corrugated sheets. The liquid is directly passed through the surface allowing coalescers to take place. The larger droplets flow separately after the separation. Made usually out of nylon or glass, these are designed for a high performance.
3. Dual media mesh
The liquid-liquid coalescer is manufactured with metal or plastic filaments to combine as layers. The liquid droplets are allowed to coalescence directly from the surface. These types of plates are used usually when it comes to cleaning and polishing appliances. Their ability to highly perform and polish makes them best to use for such needs.
These plates are usually packed with structured packing in order to export for various needs. With a well structured packing supplier, you can not only get the packaging but get to the dealers of these plates.
