| Title: |
Use coalescence to remove organic compounds from water |
| Text: |
Since "oil rises at a rate dependent on the droplet diameter and the fluid viscosity. Smaller diameter droplets rise more slowly. One way of increasing the rate at which droplets rise is to increase the droplet diameter" by using coalescence technology, which "provide surfaces on which oil droplets can congregate and merge. Most coalescers use fiberglass, polyester, metal, or Teflon media, which are arranged in a mesh, co-knit, or irregular "wool" format" |
