Velcon Vel-Max Filter Vessel Filter/Separator Configuration:
- Vel-Max Series for liquid/liquid separation uses a 2-stage coalescer separator cartridge combination to remove free and emulsified water from a liquid product stream. The first stage coalescing cartridge provides filtration as well as coalescing of free and emulsified water. The second stage separator is a hydrophobic barrier designed to repel the coalesced water droplets. The water droplets will fall and collect in the sump for removal through the manual drain.
- 6 or 6.25 OD x 2.625 ID Configuration Vel-Max Series for 6 or 6.25 OD x 2.625 ID cartridges can be used in several ways. To remove solid contaminants from a flow stream, use the vessel with a pleated media filter. When used with Aquacon cartridges the VelMax will remove solids and free water by absorption from a fuel or industrial oil flow stream. Using Vel-Max with clay cartridges will remove surfactants, color, and other impurities by adsorption from a fuel or industrial oil system.
- 6 OD x 3.5 ID Configuration Vel-Max Series with 6 OD x 3.5 ID cartridges can be used in two ways. To remove solid contaminants from a flow stream, use the vessel with a pleated media filter. When used with Aquacon cartridges* the Vel-Max will remove solid contaminants and free water by absorption from a jet fuel or aviation gasoline flow stream.
- CDF Monitor Configuration Vel-Max Series can be adapted to use 2 diameter CDF type monitor cartridges* for removing solid contaminants and free water by absorption from jet fuel or aviation gasoline flow streams.
