Coalescer Separator Configurations
Commercial, military and mobile fueling applications can require different housing layouts and qualification categories.
Vertical configurations.
Vertical coalescer separator housings can be configured for commercial aviation fuel and military fuel applications where significant levels of water and dirt may be expected.
Horizontal mobile configurations.
Horizontal coalescer-separator housings can support military mobile fueling operations where compact, lightweight packaging and high flow rates are important.
Horizontal Coalescer Separators
Horizontal coalescer separator housings can be configured for fixed airport installations, refineries, bulk terminals and mobile fueling equipment.
Fixed Installations
End-opening horizontal coalescer separators can be configured for bulk storage, terminals, heliports, airports and refinery fuel handling installations.
Commercial Aviation Fuel
Category C, Type S configurations support commercial aviation fuel systems where significant water and dirt levels may be expected.
Military Fuel
Category M, Type S configurations support military fuel applications such as F24, JP-8 and JP-5.
Mobile Equipment
Type S-LW configurations can be used for mobile applications where minimum amounts of water and dirt are expected and compact packaging is important.
High-Flow Layouts
Multiple coalescer and separator element arrangements can be selected to match required flow rate, fuel type and available installation space.
End-Opening Access
Hinged end-opening covers with swing-bolt closures support service access for cartridge inspection and replacement.
Side-Opening Access
Side-opening horizontal housings with hinged manways can be reviewed for mobile equipment layouts where end access is limited.
Marked Connections
Permanent inlet, outlet and drain markings help simplify field identification, commissioning and maintenance.
Element Sealing
Knife-edge cartridge mounting seals and internal support plates help minimize bypass risk and maintain element stability.
Compact Filter Housings
Compact single-cartridge housings can support point-of-use filtration, smaller fueling packages and tight equipment layouts.
Filter/water separator duty.
Compact housings can be configured to remove water and solids from aviation fuels where a smaller, economical filter package is required.
Microfilter duty.
The same housing style can be reviewed for micronic filtration applications where fine solids removal and simple cartridge maintenance are the primary goals.
Compact Package
Single-cartridge designs help reduce equipment footprint and can be useful on skids, carts, cabinets and small fueling systems.
Corrosion Protection
Internal and external epoxy coating can be provided for corrosion resistance in aviation fuel service.
Quick Service Closure
Swing-bolt quick-opening closures support faster cartridge inspection and changeout.
Vent & Drain Points
Vent and drain connections can be included to support safe servicing and routine sump management.
Monitoring Options
Differential pressure indicators, direct-reading gauges, sight glass connections and water probe connections can be reviewed.
Bonding Support
Bonding provisions can help reduce static charge buildup and connect the housing body to system piping.
Haypack Single-Stage Coalescers
Haypack, also called repack or single-stage coalescer housings, can be used to protect downstream filtration systems from gross water and solid contamination in jet fuel handling systems.
Gross water and solids protection.
Haypack coalescer housings are horizontal cylindrical vessels designed to reduce gross amounts of water and solid contaminants commonly carried through inbound transport pipelines and transfer systems.
Simple, serviceable design.
These housings have no internal moving parts and are designed for easy servicing, helping reduce maintenance time while supporting dependable operation in aviation fuel filtration systems.
Coalescing Process
As product enters the vessel, reduced velocity allows free water and heavier solids to fall out by gravity before the flow continues through packed media or cartridge elements.
Haypack Media
Repack or haypack media can be used for gross water removal, with cartridge configurations available where more efficient solids separation and liquid-liquid water separation are required.
Flow Range
Available in multiple standard housing sizes to support a broad range of jet fuel flow rates, with final selection based on duty and project requirements.
Construction
Welded carbon steel construction with ASME Code Section VIII stamped and certified construction where required.
Connections
Typical inlet and outlet connections use raised face ANSI flanges, with other auxiliary connections arranged around venting, relief, drain, level gauge and control needs.
Options
Steel stands, internal epoxy coating, removable or hinged covers and closure arrangements can be reviewed for the selected housing size and service requirements.
Options & Accessories
Accessories are selected around operating safety, water control, monitoring and maintenance requirements.
Air & Pressure
Automatic air eliminator with check valve, pressure relief valve and differential pressure gauge options.
Water Controls
Water slug control valve, electrical water-level alarm, water drain valves and water defense connections.
Sampling
Sampling probes and sample points can be arranged for fuel quality testing and inspection requirements.
Access
Working platforms, ladders, headlift arrangements and inspection openings can be reviewed for serviceability.
Quick Connections
