Flopak Coalescing Media Process Overview
Our Flopak coalescer media is designed for the separation of oils and fuels from wastewater streams where oils and fuels are present. Flopak oil separator media can be sized and installed and retrofit in a variety of oil water separator tank designs in above ground and below ground applications, including precast concrete vaults.
How Flopak Coalescing Media works
- Oily wastewater flows horizontally through the media pack in a cross-flow path.
- Oil droplets contact the oleophilic (oil-attracting) corrugated plate surfaces.
- Droplets attach, coalesce (merge into larger droplets), and become buoyant.
- Larger oil droplets detach from the plates and rise to the surface for skimming/removal.
- Solids follow a similar path but settle to the tank bottom due to gravity.
The cross-fluted design creates numerous changes in flow direction, impact sites, and a quiescent (calm) zone that promotes efficient separation while allowing solids to clear.
Performance note: Flopak media meets EPA Method 1664 Revision A and European Standard EN 858-1 (99.99% free-oil removal).
