What Is an Enhanced Liquid Coalescer?
An enhanced liquid coalescer is an advanced separation device that removes fine liquid contaminants from another liquid by combining tiny droplets into larger ones for easy separation.
Advanced Filament Structure
The unique filament structure of LIQUI-NOMIX® coalescer pads creates a complex flow path, maximizing surface area for contaminant collection. Constructed from thermoplastics such as oleophilic polypropylene, these pads enhance the removal of oily contaminants from water. They capture finely dispersed droplets that are often too small for gravitational settling, allowing them to coalesce into larger droplets that rise to the top of the pad for easy skimming.
Durable and Low Maintenance
LIQUI-NOMIX® Coalescers feature composite designs that ensure long-term operation with minimal maintenance. The multi-layered construction incorporates varying fiber diameters—ranging from the largest to the finest in the industry—providing resistance to fouling from solids and sludge while protecting the finer layers downstream. The three-dimensional structure facilitates easy cleaning and re-use, significantly reducing replacement costs compared to traditional polyurethane coalescers.
Versatile Applications
LIQUI-NOMIX® Coalescers are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
-
- Groundwater Remediation
- Machining/Grinding Plants
- Steel Processing Plants / Steel Pickling
- Solvent Extraction / Electro-Winning
- Airport Runoff
- Garage / Parking Lot Runoff
- Petrochemical Plants
- Chemical Processing Plants
Our composite pads, available in various mesh styles, are optimized for efficiency, pressure drop, and pluggage resistance.
How LIQUI-NOMIX® Liquid Coalescers Work
LIQUI-NOMIX® uses a unique filament structure that creates a tortuous flow path, increasing surface area and enhancing droplet capture.
Process Breakdown:
- Contaminated liquid enters the coalescer
- Fine droplets attach to oleophilic fibers (polypropylene)
- Droplets merge into larger masses
- Larger droplets rise and separate for removal
This advanced design captures droplets too small for conventional gravity separation, significantly improving efficiency.
