Droplet Separators

Droplet Separators For the separation of droplets (e.g. water, oils, fats) from gas, air and vapor flows, the droplet separators of J. K. Wire Netting Industries have proven worthwhile in industrial applications as effective and economic installations for the separation of liquids from gases. We produce effective separators from various materials as well as from various material combinations for very different tasks.

In low-pressure losses, separation degrees up to 99,9% are achieved. The laws of mass inertia and diffusion apply to separation.

We are also able, through our comprehensive range of materials, to supply wire mesh packages made-to-order for special applications such as highly corrosive media.

Coalescence Separators For the separation of two non-mixable liquid phases (dispersions and emulsions), we produce coalescence separators made of glass staple fibers in combination with a stainless-steel wire, which are successfully used in process engineering.

Also in the recirculation of water into the natural cycle or into the process cycle, the coalescence separators of JK made of wire mesh render valuable services by separating the organic phases from aqueous solutions.
The action of coalescence separators is based upon the droplet enlargement (coalescence) of the dispersed phase at the wire, monofil or fiber. Depending on the respective application, combinations of materials with different wetting properties are used. After their formation, the droplets fall down and are let off. The coalescence separators of JK are both available as knitted package and as cartridges for modular construction.
