Plate Coalescers
Plate coalescers depend on gravity
separation which allows oil
droplets to rise to a plate
surface, and where coalescence and
capture of the oil droplets occur
Common configurations:
Parallel plate interceptor
(PPI)
Corrugated plate interceptor
(CPI)
Flow is split between a number of
parallel plates spaced a short
distance apart
Plates are inclined to the
horizontal, to facilitate the
capture of the oil droplets

Gas Floatation
Floatation units are the only commonly used water
treating equipment that do not rely on gravity
separation of the oil droplets.
Fine gas bubbles are formed in the water which attach
themselves to particles of oil or solids and help to
lift them to the water surface for collection.
Floatation aids, e.g. coagulants, polyelectrolytes,
demulsifiers, are added to improve performance
Two classifications:
Dissolved gas floatation
Dispersed gas floatation
