Coalescence separator

Coalescence separators are separation systems that bring together (“coalesce”) fine oil droplets in water or aqueous media so that they form larger droplets and can be more easily separated from the water phase due to differences in density. This principle is often used in industrial wastewater treatment and cooling lubricant maintenance to efficiently remove foreign oils.

A typical example of such systems are the foreign oil separators from MKR Metzger. They operate according to the coalescence principle, are available in mobile or stationary versions, and enable continuous oil separation without machine downtime. As a result, they contribute to longer service life of washing or cooling lubricant media, lower disposal costs, and more stable process quality.
