OVERVIEW
Removal of oil from parts during manufacturing is one of the most
common applications for aqueous ultrasonic cleaning equipment. As oil
gradually contaminates the cleaning bath, the system loses its
capability and produces inconsistent, unreliable cleaning results. The
Branson Coalescer is one of a series of environmentally sound,
cost-effective waste and water treatment products. This compact,
fully-configured industrial chemistry treatment system is designed to
separate oily soils from cleaning solutions extending their useful
life. It relies on the immiscibility and different specific gravities
of the cleaning solution and the oil being removed.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The Coalescer is a completely self-contained unit consisting of a receiver tank to accept incoming solution, a stainless steel pump, a pre-filter, and the coalescing element itself. The standard pre-filter retains particles down to 10 microns with smaller retentions available.
HOW IT WORKS
The oil/detergent mixture is pumped through the oleothilic coalescing element which retains the light phase (oil) droplets on its surface until they conglomerate and rise to the top of the chamber where they are bled off. The heavy phase (cleaning solution) discharges via the bottom outlet and returns to the cleaning system. Branson coalescers will handle dissimilar liquids with specific gravity differences of 0.09 and greater.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Extends aqueous cleaning solution life minimizing operating and disposal costs
- Protects expensive cleaning equipment from damaging oil, dirt, and abrasives
- Collected oil is virtually water-free and can be filtered for reuse
- Maintains the cleaning bath surface "oil-free" preventing recontamination of clean parts
- Self-contained unit is easy to install and retrofit on existing cleaning systems
- Adjustable flow rate to optimize separation and the cleaning process
- Heated reservoir maintains process chemistry temperature
