SM‑412FC‑5 Facet‑Equivalent Separator Filter Element

Oil Filtration Machine supplies matched Coalescer Filter and separator spare parts for refinery projects. SM‑412FC‑5 separator filter element is Facet SM‑series hydrophobic separator cartridge. It serves as critical secondary‑stage component behind upstream coalescer cartridge inside coalescer‑separator vessel, widely used for refinery light‑fuel dehydration unit and oil‑gas terminal fuel purification.

Specially treated hydrophobic composite glass‑fiber media is adopted. Fuel mixed with coalesced large water droplets arrives at cartridge outer surface. Water droplets are blocked and cannot penetrate media wall, then aggregate and sink down to housing bottom sump by gravity, while clean hydrocarbon fuel flows inward toward downstream pipeline. Reinforced metal support core improves anti‑collapse performance under pressure fluctuation.

Each separator element will go through ISO 2941 collapse‑burst test and hydrophobic performance inspection. SM‑412FC‑5 cannot run alone, must match CA‑ / CM‑series Facet coalescer filter element for complete separation performance. Go to: Separator Filter Element.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What failure will occur if separator loses hydrophobic performance?
A: Water carry‑over appears, outlet fuel water content exceeds standard and causes downstream pipeline corrosion.

Q: Which coalescer shall match SM‑412FC‑5?
A: Corresponding CA‑series or CM‑series Facet coalescer filter element is required.

Q: Can I only replace coalescer and keep old separator?
A: Not recommended, separator media may also be contaminated, suggest full‑set replacement.

Q: When shall we execute full‑set replacement?
A: Replace coalescer plus separator when differential pressure reaches 12‑15 psi.
