  • Patent number: 7198718
    Abstract: A two phase liquid media coalescer comprises a chamber such as a pipe (1) which may be fitted into a process system by way of pressure sealable fittings (23, 24). Contained within the chamber is a coalescer media (5) manufactured from fibers of polypropylene or other material. One end of the fibers may be secured to a media retaining plate (4). The fibers extend through the chamber in the direction of flow and are free at their other end. A two phase liquid enters the pipe and contacts the surface area of the fibers while passing through, thereby forming droplets of the minority phase of the liquid on the fibers.
