Gas Oil-water Separation System

The use of coalescing filters for gas phase separation can remove oil mist or moisture from contaminated air streams. The filter should always flow from the inside of the filter element to the outside of the filter element. This allows oil droplets and water droplets to collect on the fibers of the filter element and meet at the intersection and become larger and larger oil droplets as they move down and out to the bottom of the filter element (coalescence process). Large liquid droplets fall from the bottom of the filter element into the water collection area of the filter housing, and finally enter the automatic float drain pipe, and the liquid is discharged from the system.
