Hydrocarbon systems frequently encounter aqueous contamination. The aqueous component typically exceeds the soluble limit, and accumulates within the hydrocarbon as a separate dispersed and emulsified phase. This stable emulsion is typically observed as a stable haze.
Our offered separator is specifically manufactured to help separate emulsions that are not separable by conventional coalescers. Conventional coalescers are unable to provide the required degree clarity due to the inability to capture and remove the most penetrating droplets that cause carry-over. The separator can separate these dispersed and emulsified droplets from the hydrocarbon to practically non-detectable levels. Advances in the technology now permit horizontal installations, further reducing capital cost.
