HILCO Coalescer Separators Key Features:

High-Efficiency Filtration and Water Removal

When combined with a HILCO coalescer/separator cartridge, systems achieve 99.5% particle removal efficiency at 3 microns. They can also remove and reduce free and emulsified water content to below 25 ppm and maintain total water content to below 150 ppm, based on a process stream containing 5% water.

Multiple Sizes and Flow Capacities

Available in standard sizes with flow rates from 10 to 100 GPM with the ability to service reservoir capacities up to 20,000 gallons.

Flexible Configurations

Customizable vessel connections, piping sizes, and controls to meet application requirements. Available with NEMA or IEC electrical enclosures and with or without a separator.

Domestic and International Code Compatibility

Available in ASME and non-ASME configurations, with applicable certifications and markings including UL, CSA, CE, ATEX, GOST, KESCO, NR-13, CRN, and PED.

FILTRATION EXPERTISE

HILCO’s Engineered Coalescing Filtration Systems for Lube Oil Water Removal

Since 1915, HILCO has provided industrial filtration solutions trusted by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and end users worldwide. Backed by more than a century of filtration expertise and in-house manufacturing capabilities, HILCO develops standard and custom-engineered coalescer separator systems for demanding industrial applications.

HILCO coalescer separators combine particulate filtration and water separation to help maintain clean, dry lubricating oil. Specialized coalescing cartridges capture fine water droplets and combine them into larger droplets, allowing water to separate from the oil for removal.

Benefits of Effective Lube Oil Filtration and Water Separation

HILCO oil coalescer systems help maintain lubricant quality and deliver several operational benefits:

Extended Equipment Life

Helps protect critical equipment and lubricated components from wear and damage associated with moisture and particulate contamination.

Longer Filter Element and Vessel Service Life

Ensures longer run time of key or critical components by providing extended filtration from the elements and long service life of the vessels.

Lower Maintenance Costs and Reduced Downtime

Helps minimize contamination-related wear, and reduce the risk of unplanned equipment shutdowns.

Custom Engineered and Standard Products

Wide range of standard products or custom engineered applications to accommodate different flow rates, reservoir capacities, and operating requirements.
