Facet HP Series single-stage coalescers use wafer repacks to remove gross amounts of water and solids from hydrocarbons. They are available in several standard sizes to accommodate flows from 10 to 2000 gpm (38 to 7570 lpm). They provide protection to filtration systems from gross amounts of water and solids that are commonly carried through inbound transport pipelines.

Clay treaters are usually placed upstream of a
coalescer separator system to remove surface
active agents (surfactants), color and additives from jet fuel. These unwanted contaminants may be present in fuel at the processing and refining levels or picked up from various transportation methods such as trucks, ships and pipelines that carry several types of petroleum products in addition to jet fuel.
The contaminant compounds will accumulate
and disarm the coalescer cartridge and reduce
the water coalescing efficiency of the coalescer separator. Clay treatment removes the surfactant compounds, color and additives by adsorption and delivers treated fuel to the coalescer separator while prolonging the life of the coalescer cartridges.

Facet’s VFGM Series SuperFlex  monitor housings are built to ASME Code, constructed of carbon steel. Stainless steel construction is available. Contact your Facet Representative for details. They are furnished with FG-O Series 6” monitor cartridges that meet the latest edition of EI specification 1583 Aviation Fuel Filter Monitors with Absorbent Type Elements.

Facet VF-21SB/22SB Series filter cartridges provide long service life and high solids holding capacity with no unloading characteristics. The filter cartridges remove solids from aviation fuels.

Facet’s standard carbon steel FS Series SuperFlex housings are small economical housings that can be used as clay treaters, but at lower flow rates than our standard F Series housings.

Facet’s standard carbon steel MS Series SuperFlex  filter housings are small, economical housings for in-line removal of solids from aviation fuels when equipped with Facet’s FA, M or CIF Series High Efficiency filter cartridges .

Category C Coalescer Separator housings are for commercial aviation fuel. Type S qualifications can be used at all filtration points in an aviation fueling system. Type S is meant to be used at filtration points  where significant levels of water and dirt in the product can be expected. Facet VCS Series Vertical Coalescer Separator housings & Facet HCS Series Horizontal Coalescer Separator housings fully comply with EI 1581, Category C, Type S requirements.

Facet VF-21SB/22SB Series coalescer separator cartridges provide long service life and high solids olding capacity with no unloading characteristics. These filter separator cartridges effectively remove water and solids from fuels.

Facet’s standard carbon steel MS Series SuperFlex  filter housings are small, economical housings for in-line removal of solids from aviation fuels when equipped with Facet’s FA, M or CIF Series High Efficiency filter cartridges.

Facet filter housings are specifically designed to remove solid particles such as rust, dirt, pipe scale, sand  and metal from fuel. They are commonly located ahead of clay treaters and coalescer separators to protect and prolong cartridge life. A single pass through the filter allows clean product to flow downstream.
