Product Highlights & Design Features
The Facet ST656FB-5 belongs to the ST-series FB heavy-duty separator category, specially optimized for large-diameter, long-length high-flow fuel purification requirements. Compared with medium and small-size separator models, ST656FB-5 adopts enhanced fiber compaction and multi-layer gradient filtration structure, greatly improving overall contaminant retention capacity and operational stability.
The entire filter media is permanently hydrophobic treated, ensuring absolute water repellency without water absorption or performance degradation during long-term fuel flushing. The full epoxy sealing process eliminates fluid bypass and short-circuit filtration, while the reinforced metal inner support tube prevents media expansion and deformation under high differential pressure. It is a reliable long-service-life solution for large fuel terminals and refinery fuel transfer systems.

Separation Working Principle
ST656FB-5 adopts standard Facet hydrophobic rejection separation technology for two-stage fuel purification:
1. Fuel containing coalesced large water droplets flows radially from inside to outside through the separator media.
2. FB-grade heavy-duty hydrophobic fiber layer fully rejects all water droplets, preventing water penetration.
3. Only clean, dry jet fuel, diesel and light hydrocarbon fuel pass through the filter smoothly.
4. Blocked water accumulates on the outer surface, merges into large water masses, and settles to the vessel bottom by gravity, achieving complete fuel-water separation.
