Efficient oil-water separation – reliable hydrocarbon and water removal
About
Coalescers, also known as Coalescing Plate Separators (CPS), are engineered to separate immiscible liquids by merging fine dispersed droplets into larger ones, which then separate quickly and efficiently. This makes them highly effective for oil-water separation, hydrocarbon removal, and water polishing in both industrial and environmental applications.
With their compact design and robust performance, Coalescers provide a low-maintenance and energy-efficient solution for clean water discharge and hydrocarbon recovery.
Applications & Benefits
Coalescers are ideally suited for:
- Oil-water separation in industrial wastewater treatment
- Removal of hydrocarbons from process water or stormwater
- Produced water treatment in the energy sector
- Polishing steps in refining and petrochemical operations
- Environmental protection by reducing oil discharge levels
Key benefits include:
- High efficiency in removing dispersed oils and hydrocarbons
- Compact footprint compared to traditional separation methods
- Low energy use and minimal maintenance requirements
- Proven technology for both onshore and offshore applications
Key Features
- Coalescing plate technology for enhanced droplet merging
- Efficient removal of free and dispersed hydrocarbons
- Modular, scalable designs for different flow rates
- Easy integration into existing treatment systems
- Low operating costs with no moving parts

Sustainability in Action
Coalescers directly contribute to sustainable water management by enabling reuse and safe discharge of treated water. Their benefits include:
- Reducing environmental impact by lowering hydrocarbon emissions
- Supporting compliance with CSRD, ESG, and ETS frameworks
- Minimizing carbon footprint with energy-efficient operation
- Enabling Circular Thermal and circular water use concepts
- Helping industries achieve net zero environmental impact goals
