A COALESCER APPARATUS IN AN OIL/WATER SEPARATOR

摘要

A coalescer apparatus is used in oil-water separator tanks. The coalescer includes a frame that supports coalescing plates that are inclined upwardly from the bottom o f the frame member. The coalescing plates run parallel with each other and are spaced equally apart. The coalescing plates have a bottom surface that is corrugated and a top surface that is fl at without corrugations. Water containing oil and solids is passed through the coalescing apparatus a nd separation of the oil and solids from the water occurs. The solids fall to the top flat surfac e of the inclined coalescing plates. The inclined flat surface cause the solids to slide down the plate and out of the coalescer.
