SINOKLE Coalescing Oil-Water Separator: Solving Industrial Oily Wastewater Challenges
Oily wastewater has always been a technical difficulty in industrial wastewater treatment. The KHC series high-efficiency coalescing oil-water separator from SINOKLE Technologies, with its innovative technology and stable performance, provides efficient solutions for petrochemical, oilfield and many other industries.
Coalescing oil-water separator Introduction
The KHC coalescing oil-water separator is a new generation purely physical demulsification unit developed for hard-to-break, highly emulsified oily wastewater. It uses a modular design, with a single unit capacity of up to 50m³/h, system pressure drop no more than 0.05MPa and oil removal steadily above 95%. The compact structure suits complex industrial environments.
Working principle
Using super-oleophilic hydrophobic coalescing fibre materials and a special internal structure, the unit integrates cyclonic centrifugal separation, wetting coalescence, collision coalescence and interception filtration to coalesce and separate emulsified oil efficiently. The process runs in several stages: fine oil droplets are captured and adsorbed by the special polyester fibres, migrate along the fibres to the crossing points under the flow, coalesce into larger droplets on collision and are finally separated.

Technical features
High-precision separation: removes emulsified oil droplets of 0.1µm and above, with effluent oil down to 10ppm
Strong fouling resistance: the special fibre material has a high dirt-holding capacity and excellent corrosion resistance
Long-life design: cartridge life is 2-5 times that of conventional coalescing elements, greatly reducing maintenance costs
Intelligent operation: modular cartridge design for easy replacement and simple, quick operation
Environmental and energy saving: purely physical demulsification with no chemicals and no secondary pollution

Application scenarios
The product is widely used in many industrial fields:
Oily wastewater treatment in oilfield production
Oily wastewater from petrochemical production processes
Wastewater treatment in pharmaceutical extraction
Oily wastewater from the washing industry
In practice the unit performs excellently. At a petrochemical coking oily wastewater project, for example, influent oil was as high as 10%-20%, and after treatment the demulsification was effective and the effluent fully met the discharge targets.
Technical advantages
SINOKLE's coalescing oil-water separator uses atomic layer deposition for molecular-level surface modification, giving the coalescing media high density and shape retention. CFD simulation is also used to optimise the internal flow field and keep separation stable and efficient. These innovations give the product clear advantages on difficult oily wastewater.
As environmental requirements tighten, the coalescing oil-water separator, with its reliable performance and advanced technology, is becoming an important choice in industrial oily wastewater treatment and supporting many companies in achieving compliance and sustainable development.
