DESCRIPTION

Natco revolutionized oil and water separation with the development of the PERFORMAX matrix plate. This coalescing media accelerates gravity separation of oil from water and water from oil with remarkable efficiency. It is useful in heated process equipment as well as in ambient separation systems like free-water
knockouts. It handles a wide variety of oil and water dispersions in all ranges of API oil gravities.
Large Volumes in Small Vessels
The horizontal coalescer uses an inlet momentum absorber to slow the velocity and distribute the flow of the incoming stream. Then the oil and water mixture
flows into the PERFORMAX matrix plate section where the inclined channels accelerate coalescence. (See Figures 1 & 2). Separation efficiency improves dramatically because PERFORMAX technology causes the oil droplets to coalesce and rise much more rapidly than smaller droplets in conventional coalescers. (See figures 3 & 4). As a result, the PERFORMAX coalescer handles higher flow rates through smaller vessels and gets better results.
