What is a coalescing separator?
A coalescing separator is an innovative wastewater treatment device that uses gravity and specialised media to remove material from contaminated water.Â
- Wastewater flows through the coalescing separator unit
- Solids settle at the bottom for disposal
- Oil droplets coalesce on the media tube pack, rising to the surface for removalÂ
- Clean water is discharged, while the contaminants are captured
Available in various sizes and capacities, these separators are easy to install, maintain, and integrate into existing systems. With options for 304 and 316 stainless steel construction, they cater to a range of industries and budgets, offering flexibility without compromising quality.
