Coalescers™ - Primary Dispersions
Originally patented by KnitMesh, the DC Coalescer
was developed from a concept invented at the University of Manchester
Institute of Science & Technology. The essence of the design
is to use a composite of two materials with very different surface
free energies - typically
metal and plastic. This simple principle offers notable advantages
over
conventional, single medium alternatives.

The combination of both high and low
surface free energies means effective
separation irrespective of which phase is dispersed.
Secondly, the rate of coalescence is
significantly increased when droplets are
captured and meet at the interstices of the two dissimilar materials.
Key Benefits:
- Improved separation efficiency
- Higher capacities allow de-bottlenecking
of conventional separators
- Large cost savings in pressure
vessels
- Efficiency maintained even
with phase inversion of dispersed liquid
- High free volume means smaller
pressure drop
