Introduction
The Facet Coalescer Filter Element Model CA11 - 9 is a revolutionary solution engineered to address the most demanding filtration needs in liquid - liquid and liquid - gas separation processes. Developed by Facet, a leader in filtration technology, this coalescer filter element actively captures and removes contaminants from various fluid streams. Whether it's separating water from fuel, oil from gas, or removing particulate matter, the CA11 - 9 ensures the purity of fluids, thereby enhancing the performance and longevity of downstream equipment. Its innovative design and advanced materials make it a top choice for industries where high - quality filtration is non - negotiable.
Suggested Operating Conditions
Temperature Range: The CA11 - 9 operates effectively within a temperature range of - 20°C to 100°C. Extreme temperatures outside this range may affect the performance of the filter media and the structural integrity of the element.
Maximum Operating Pressure: It can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 2.5 MPa. Exceeding this pressure may lead to damage to the filter element and compromise its filtration efficiency.
Flow Rate: The recommended flow rate for optimal performance is between 11 m³/h and 90 m³/h. Higher flow rates may reduce the contact time between the fluid and the filter media, resulting in lower separation efficiency.
Viscosity: The filter element is suitable for fluids with a viscosity of up to 100 cSt. Higher viscosity fluids may require additional pre - treatment or a different filter configuration.
Application
Oil and Gas Industry
Crude Oil Dehydration: The CA11 - 9 efficiently separates water from crude oil, reducing the water content to meet pipeline specifications. This helps prevent corrosion in pipelines and downstream processing equipment.
Natural Gas Processing: It removes liquid hydrocarbons and water droplets from natural gas streams, protecting compressors and other equipment from damage and improving the overall efficiency of the gas processing plant.

Technical Data
Filtration Rating: The CA11 - 9 has a nominal filtration rating of 0.3 µm, which means it can effectively capture particles as small as 0.3 micrometers.
Coalescing Efficiency: It achieves a coalescing efficiency of over 99% for water droplets larger than 3 µm in fuel or oil.
Media Material: The filter media is made of a high - performance synthetic material that is resistant to chemicals and has excellent wettability, ensuring efficient coalescence and separation.
Element Dimensions: The filter element has a diameter of 11 inches and a length of 9 inches, making it suitable for a variety of filter housing designs.
Weight: It weighs approximately 15 kg, which is convenient for handling and installation.
Features
Advanced Coalescing Technology
The CA11 - 9 utilizes state - of - the - art coalescing technology to efficiently combine small droplets of water or oil into larger ones. These larger droplets then separate more easily from the fluid stream, improving the overall separation efficiency.
Durable Construction
Built with high - quality materials, the filter element is resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical attack. This ensures a long service life and reliable performance, even in harsh operating environments.
Low Pressure Drop
The design of the CA11 - 9 minimizes the pressure drop across the filter element. This reduces the energy consumption of the system and allows for continuous operation without significant loss of flow rate.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
The filter element is designed for easy installation and replacement. It can be quickly removed and replaced without the need for special tools, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
