Oil/water separators
The Flo Trend Retrofit Coalescing Media Pack is a newly available option for existing oil/water separators. The design will allow for custom fit pre-made coalescing media to be placed inside an existing unit. The TPL Phase 3 Coalescing Pack provides optimum phase separation. The media has a large oleophilic surface area that attracts oil droplets creating larger droplets that rise quickly and increase phase separation.
