<p>The coalescing plate (10) is designed to separate immiscible components of differing densities mixed in a fluid. The plate includes bidirectional corrugations forming crests and valleys. Bleed holes (16, 18) are provided in the crests and valleys to allow the immiscible components to pass through. Plural plates are stacked and separated by spacers (20). The spacers (20) are configurated to provide multiple spacing between adjacent plates. The immiscible components less dense than the host fluid migrate upwardly and pass through the bleed holes (16) in the crests. Solids and other components denser than the host fluid move downwardly and pass through the bleed holes (18) in the valleys. The plates are readily cleaned in situ by passing a nozzle (42) through the bleed holes and introducing a cleaning fluid to flush out the space between the plates.</p> |
