PT Phase Separator Fine droplet separation using coalescence in a microfiber bed Setup PT Phase Separator, type PTX 600-D PT phase separation stage, type TPX 600/7-44 Examples for microfiber materials Separation mechanism flow direction coalesced droplets with enhanced rising up velocity outside of phase separation element core of element inside of phase separation element Initial droplets of dispersed phase with low rising up velocity coalesced droplets dispersed phase droplets on microfibers Difference in densities of both liquids Viscosity of continous phase Viscosity of dispersed phase Max. concentration of dispersed phase Carbon steel, stainless steel, glass, plastics Linings Rubber, PVDF, enamel Interfacial tension (without surfactants) Pressure drop (clean/max.) Solid particles (permitted*) Mean settling time * installation of prefilter if necessary
