AQUASORB (AQUASORB)
Key Features
- Dual-action removal of particulate plus free/emulsified water
- Extends fluid and equipment life; cuts unplanned downtime
- Retrofit-friendly sizes for common industrial housings
Overview
Pleated Water Absorbing Cartridges are designed for water and particulate removal from a wide range of petroleum products where the presence of water is harmful or undesirable.
How It Works
Liquid flows outside-in through pleated media; superabsorbent polymer swells to lock in water while the fiber matrix captures particulates
Applications
- •Diesel/gasoline storage polishing to remove free/emulsified water
- •Turbine and engine lube-oil water removal to prevent bearing damage
- •Hydraulic reservoir dewatering to protect pumps and servos
- •Transformer/insulating oil water cleanup to maintain dielectric strength
- •Fuel prefiltration on gensets to prevent injector corrosion
- •Kerosene/jet fuel water knockout ahead of coalescers
- •Compressor lube-oil water control after coolers/seals
- •Coolant and cutting-fluid water/particulate control to extend life
- •Pipeline/terminal sump cleanup with water scavenging
- •Process chemical streams where trace water is harmful (compatibility check)
FAQs
- •
How does the AQUASORB remove water from oil and fuel?
AQUASORB uses a superabsorbent polymer that swells to lock in free and emulsified water while the fiber matrix simultaneously captures particulates, providing dual-action filtration.
- •
What fluids is AQUASORB compatible with?
AQUASORB is compatible with diesel, gasoline, turbine lube oil, hydraulic oil, transformer oil, kerosene, jet fuel, compressor lube oil, and most petroleum-based fluids up to 225°F.
- •
When should AQUASORB be used instead of coalescers?
AQUASORB is ideal when you need to absorb and permanently remove trace water rather than separate it for drainage. It's also effective on emulsified water that coalescers struggle with.
