PERFORMAX*

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
