Overview of PERFORMAX*
PERFORMAX*
PERFORMAX* Matrix Plate Coalescer was first introduced by NATCO.
The PERFORMAX* coalescer was designed to replace the traditional horizontal freewater knockout drum as the primary oil-water separator. Most of the oil-water separation occurs within the coalescing section near the front of the vessel. This enhanced oil-water separator requires less length downstream for the effective separation.
PERFORMAX* coalescing plate pack is manufactured from various materials, such as stainless steel 304, and 316, depending on the operating conditions
We have applied it for horizontal high-efficiency phase separator to ensure mechanical coalescence and improved separation.
Application of PERFORMAX*
The PERFORMAX* coalescing plate pack has been useful over the entire range of producing conditions, and for oil & gas industries, refineries, and petrochemical plants. The applications include;
- Oil and Water Treating Systems
- Freewater knockout drums (FWKO)
- Horizontal Longitudinal Flow Separator/ Coalescer
- Robust three-phase separation with mechanical coalescence
- Oil Dehydration Equipment
- NATCO DOX: Dispersed oil extractor system for Ethylene quench water treatment
Reference
The advantages contain;
- enhanced water and oil quality
- enhanced oil-water separation
- lower gas entrainment
- lower emulsion breaker chemical requirements
- lower fuel costs
as compared to the common industrial standard separator
