OPTIONS

Facet VCS Series two-stage vertical coalescer

separator housings are mechanical devices designed
to filter solids and separate two immiscible liquids.
They have been qualified after full-scale, witnessed
testing to the Fifth Edition of API Bulletin 1581.
RELIABLE PERFORMANCE
Facet coalescer separators are a result of over 50
years of continuous research and development to
meet the ever demanding performance requirements
in the aviation fuel handling industry. This, along
with proven field performance, demonstrates
Facets ability to provide quality products that meet
current specifications as well as specific customer
requirements for installations in refineries, bulk storage
terminals, heliports, airports, etc.
