Kimre’s LIQUI-NOMIX® Liquid/Liquid Coalescers are extremely economic and efficient. Our coalescer pad provide polishing of liquid streams to remove contaminant liquids which will meet any industry standards. Water quality levels below 2 ppm can be easily achieved.
LIQUI-NOMIX® is used as a final polishing element by many of the industries’ leading Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) of oil/water separators.
Kimre can provide custom sized, easy to install cartridges. The cartridges can be used horizontally or vertically.
The filament structure of LIQUI-NOMIX® Coalescer pad create a difficult path for the liquid flow to navigate, which creates a high surface area for collection of the contaminant liquid. LIQUI-NOMIX® Coalescers pads are provided in thermoplastics, including polypropylene which is oleophilic. Therefore, the collection of oily contaminants in water is enhanced. Finely dispersed droplets that are too small to be separated by simple gravitational settling are collected by the fibers of LIQUI-NOMIX®. These droplets coalesce and form larger droplets, which can then rise to the top of the coalesce pad and be easily skimmed away from the aqueous phase.
LIQUI-NOMIX® Coalescers utilize composite designs that allow for long-term operation and low maintenance. These specific designs incorporate layers of varying fiber diameters, ranging from the largest available in the industry to the finest. The large fiber diameter layers provide resistance to fouling by solids and sludge, therefore protecting the finer layers downstream. The finer layers are able to collect the droplets that are too fine to be removed by gravitational separation. Furthermore, LIQUI-NOMIX®’s three-dimensional structure allows for easy cleaning and re-use, virtually eliminating the replacement costs of other polyurethane coalescers.
Applications for LIQUI-NOMIX® Coalescers include:
Groundwater Remediation
Machining/Grinding Plants
Steel Processing Plants
Solvent Extraction/Electro-Winning
Airport Run-Off
Garage/Parking Lot Run-Off
Petrochemical Plants
Chemical Processing Plants
Composite pads of various mesh styles allow for optimization of efficiency, pressure drop, and pluggage resistance
