CA38-9SB Replacement Coalescer Cartridge for Oil Terminals & Aviation Hydrant Systems

Product Overview

The FACET CA38-9SB screw-base coalescing cartridge belongs to the premium CAA Series aviation-grade filter lineup, engineered for high-flow fuel-water separation in bulk fuel storage and airport refueling infrastructure. Our factory-produced interchangeable CA38-9SB coalescer is a drop-in substitute that fully matches the dimensional specs, thread structure, sealing configuration and separation standards of the original FACET unit. We eliminate middleman markup and long overseas lead times of genuine FACET parts, delivering identical industrial filtration performance at a drastically lower procurement cost for fuel handling operators.

Designed to extract micro solid pollutants and free emulsified water from jet fuel, diesel and light hydrocarbon fluids, this replacement cartridge resolves two major pain points of original FACET consumables: excessive recurring expenditure and unpredictable delivery cycles for bulk filter restocks. Every batch undergoes strict off-line separation efficiency testing before shipment to guarantee consistent long-term purification stability.

Core Competitive Advantages

1. Zero-Modification Plug-and-Play Compatibility

We replicate every detail of the original FACET CA38-9SB, including thread pitch, gasket groove depth, end cap size and overall cartridge length. Operators can swap the old FACET cartridge with our replacement directly without altering filter separators, refueling trucks or terminal pipeline skids, avoiding leakage risks and extra installation labor costs.

2. OEM-Equal Filtration Performance with Cost Cut

Our multi-stage composite glass fiber media adopts the same hydrophobic surface treatment technology as genuine FACET products. It captures tiny rust particles, pipeline sludge and suspended water droplets just as effectively as the original filter, while factory-direct pricing slashes your filter purchase budget by 35%–60% compared to imported FACET CA38-9SB. For depots with large monthly filter consumption, the overall operation cost reduction is highly noticeable in long-term use.

3. Optimized Pleat Design Boosts Dirt Holding Capacity

We adjust the pleat spacing and folding density to expand the effective filtration surface area. This design holds far more solid contaminants and accumulated water before differential pressure rises sharply, stretching maintenance intervals and lowering downtime caused by frequent cartridge replacement.

4. Heavy-Duty Reinforced Structure for Variable Working Conditions

The integral nylon screw base resists thread galling and deformation under frequent disassembly; the thickened metal inner support tube stands up to fluctuating high fuel flow impact and temperature cycling. No media collapse, gasket detachment or structural failure during continuous 24-hour fuel transfer operations at terminals and airports.

5. Flexible Lead Time & Customization Support

Mass production capacity supports bulk order delivery within 7–10 working days; small sample orders are welcome for performance validation tests. We offer customizable media layers, sealing materials and tailored lengths for special non-standard separation housings. All finished cartridges pass full leakage and efficiency inspection before packaging.

Diversified Industrial Application Scenarios

1. Airport Aviation Fuel Hydrant & Refueling Systems

Underground airport fuel hydrant dispensers, mobile jet refueling tankers, central aviation kerosene storage depots. Removes water and particulate impurities to prevent aircraft engine injector corrosion, abrasion and combustion instability, fully compliant with aviation fuel safety standards.

2. Large-Scale Petroleum Storage Terminals

Gasoline/diesel bulk storage yards, refinery finished product transfer pipelines, fuel blending workshops. Separates emulsified water and pipeline sediment to upgrade finished fuel cleanliness and reduce pipeline corrosion.

3. Marine & Offshore Fuel Supply Facilities

Offshore drilling platform fuel supply units, coastal fuel barges, ship auxiliary diesel pre-separation equipment. Adapts to unstable sea temperature and pressure fluctuations to block water ingress that damages marine diesel engines.

4. Gas Turbine & Power Generation Fuel Filtration

Industrial power plant gas turbine fuel pretreatment skids, backup generator fuel filtration systems. Stabilizes combustion efficiency by eliminating moisture and micro contaminants, extending turbine blade and injector service lifespan.

5. General Industrial Hydrocarbon Treatment

Diesel generator fuel pre-filter stations, light mineral oil purification, industrial solvent separation workshops. Fits all low-viscosity hydrocarbon fluids matching the CA38-9SB parameter range.
