- Filter Housings Facet filter housings are specifically designed to remove
solid particles such as rust, dirt, pipe scale, sand and metal from
fuel. They are commonly located ahead of clay treaters and filter
separators to protect and prolong cartridge life. A single pass through
the filter allows clean product to flow downstream. Facet filter
housings will continuously remove solids from fuel when used with Facet
standard single, double or triple-length M Series high efficiency filter
cartridges. Housings are designed for easy servicing and low
maintenance. All are built to ASME Code, Section VIII, with many
standard and optional accessories and connections available to
facilitate individual installation requirements. Facet filters provide a
complete system to meet industry standards and levels of effluent purity
required by commercial airlines, major oil companies and governments
worldwide.

- Clay Treaters Clay
treaters are usually placed upstream of a filter separator system to
remove surface active agents (surfactants), color and additives from jet
fuel. These unwanted contaminants may be present in fuel at the
processing and refining levels or picked up from various transportation
methods such as trucks, ships and pipelines that carry several types of
petroleum products in addition to jet fuel. The contaminant compounds
will accumulate and disarm the coalescer cartridge and reduce the water
coalescing efficiency of the filter separator. Clay treatment removes
the surfactant compounds, color and additives by adsorption and delivers
treated fuel to the filter separator while prolonging the life of the
coalescer cartridges.

- Single-Stage Water Coalescers,
commonly referred to as repack or hay pack housings, are horizontal,
cylindrical shaped housings designed to protect filtration systems
from gross amounts of water and solid contaminants.
- Two-Stage Coalescer Separators
Facet VCS Series two-stage vertical coalescer separator housings are
mechanical devices designed to filter solids and separate two immiscible
liquids. They have been qualified after full-scale, witnessed testing to
the Fifth Edition of API Bulletin 1581.are horizontal or vertical,
cylindrical shaped housings designed to continuously remove solids and
water contaminants from aviation fuels.

- Monitors The new Facet
HFG Series horizontal Fuel-Gard® monitor housings, equipped with either
Facet’s FG Series or PS Series 2" (51 mm.) OD monitor cartridges,
continually check the entire flow of fuel, not just mere samples, for
water or solids contamination. By performing three jobs, the FG Series
monitors assure clean, dry fuel. They absorb free and emulsified water,
remove ultra-fine solids, and shut down system flow when hit with a
localized slug of water. In addition, the PS Series monitors positively
shut down system flow when pressure drop across the cartridge exceeds 40
psi eliminating any possibility of media or water transmission while
also preventing the system being reused. They are designed to flow from
the outside to inside at a rate of 1 gallon (3.79 liters) per inch of
length
