Choose the Pleated Oil-water Separation Filter Manufacturer That Benefits You

Choose Clear Filter for effective, reliable, and cost-efficient fluid purification solutions!

Advanced Multi-Stage Filtration

Our multi-stage technology captures tiny oil mist and water droplets, quickly merging them into larger droplets for easy separation. With a removal efficiency of up to 99.9%, our cartridges are ideal for compressed air purification, aviation fuel treatment, oil and gas separation, and natural gas purification.

State-of-the-Art Composite Filter Media

We use advanced materials like ultra-fine glass fiber and PTFE coatings, customized for your needs, ensuring high flow rates, low pressure loss, and excellent dirt-holding capacity.

Durable, Low Pressure Loss Design

Our cartridges feature a folded, multi-layer design that optimizes flow, minimizing pressure drops and enhancing energy efficiency. The robust structure extends filter life by 2 to 3 times and reduces maintenance frequency

How the Oil-water Separation Filter works?

Oily wastewater, commonly produced in industries like petrochemicals, food processing, metalworking, and shipping, contains fats, oils, grease, and organic matter. This type of wastewater poses significant threats to ecosystems, plants, and animals, making it a major source of environmental pollution.

Types and characteristics of common oil wastewater

Existence Form Particle Size (µm) Characteristics
Floating Oil > 100 Forms an oil film or layer on the wastewater surface, can float up after a period of stillness
Dispersed Oil 10~100 Dispersed in wastewater as oil droplets, unstable
Emulsified Oil < 10 Composed of base oil and additives (emulsifiers, inhibitors), stable in existence (neither floating nor coagulating)
Dissolved Oil < 0.1 Dissolved in water, forming a stable homogeneous phase with water

Coalescence involves two key mechanisms: wetting and collision.

Wetting coalescence occurs when droplets adhere to a material’s surface, collide, and grow, leading to oil and water separation.

Collision coalescence happens when droplets in a fluid come into contact and form a thin film; if the external force exceeds the interfacial tension, they combine and grow.

Both mechanisms take place as droplets interact with agglomerated materials, regardless of their affinity for oil or water.

Biochemical Methods Stabilized Sludge, Activated Sludge, Percolation Pond

What tests have been conducted on ClearFilter filters?

To ensure optimal performance, ClearFilter uses internationally recognized testing methods for rigorous verification.

Efficiency Test

Following ISO 12500 and ISO 8573 standards, we test the oil mist removal rate to guarantee an efficiency of ≥99.9%.

Pressure Drop Test

We measure the pressure loss of the filter element at the rated flow rate to ensure low pressure drop operation and enhance energy efficiency.

Chemical Resistance Test

This test assesses the stability of the filter media when exposed to various substances, including fuels, lubricants, and solvents.

Environmental Durability Test

We conduct temperature, humidity, and pressure cycling tests to ensure that the cartridge performs steadily in extreme conditions.

Activated Oil-water Separation Filter FAQs

Cartridge lifespan may be reduced due to high contaminant levels, insufficient maintenance, or unsuitable model; regular monitoring, timely replacements, and proper selection are recommended.

Deterioration of the oil-water separation effect can result from filter saturation, inadequate filtration precision, or emulsified components; solutions include regular element replacement, precision adjustment, and using anti-emulsification materials.

High pressure drop can be caused by excessive flow rates, high solid content leading to clogging, or mismatched cartridge types; solutions include maintaining recommended flow rates, installing pre-filters, and selecting the correct cartridge.

 

Secondary entrainment may result from a failed cartridge, incorrect installation, or poor drainage; solutions include replacing the cartridge, ensuring proper installation, and regular drainage inspections.

Choosing the right cartridge depends on application, media characteristics, flow requirements, filtration accuracy, and system environment; contact Clear Filter for customized recommendations.

Ineffective separation can stem from variations in materials, technical parameters, or low-quality cartridges; solutions include using certified high-quality filters and Clear Filter’s specialized separation cartridges.
