Two-stage coalescer separators are the primary defense
against fuel contamination by water and dirt. The coalescer
separator housings contain both first-stage coalescer
and second-stage separator cartridges with no internal
moving parts. The product is pumped under pressure to
flow through the housing inlet chamber and inside/out
through the multi-media coalescer cartridge. This specially
developed multi-media cartridge configuration traps and
holds minute solid particles to less than one micron, while
forcing small water droplets to commingle and grow into
heavier, larger drops that fall by gravity to the housing sump
area. The cleaned fuel continues to flow outside/in through
the second-stage separator cartridges. These separator
cartridges strip any remaining water droplets from the fuel
allowing only clean, dry fuel to pass.
Facet two-stage coalescer separators will continuously
remove solids and water contaminants from aviation fuels.
Vertical and horizontal housing designs are available with
a wide selection of coalescer and separator cartridges to
meet specific applications. Housings are designed for easy
servicing and low maintenance. All are built to EI 1596 with
many standard and optional accessories and connections
available to facilitate piping and installation requirements.
Facet coalescer separators provide a complete system that
meets industry standards and individual levels of effluent
purity required by commercial airlines, major oil companies
and governments, worldwide.

Instructions
For Installing, Operating & Servicing Filter-Separators
General Description
This Facet filter-separator is basically a cylindrically shaped
pressure vessel designed specifically to remove solid
contaminants such as dirt, rust, scale, sand and metal
particles as well as remove emulsified, free and entrained
water from liquid and air/gas product streams.
Removable access opening covers are provided to facilitate
the replacement of the filter elements contained inside the
main body of the unit and to permit cleaning the interior of
the vessel.
Suitable mounting supports are provided for anchoring the
unit. Inlet, outlet, vent and drain connections are provided on
all units. The size, type and location of the connections are as
specified to suit the installation requirement.
The nameplate attached to each unit contains important
information such as model number, serial number, operating
pressure, flow rate, filter element type and change-out
pressure. Be sure to send nameplate information to the
nearest representative of Facet or to the Tulsa office when
ordering replacement parts or for additional information
regarding technical problems related to the Facet equipment.
Installation
Remove filter-separator from shipping crate and discard all
protective wrapping and packing material. Remove flange
face and thread protectors from all connections.
CAUTION
Remove access covers and inspect interior components for
possible damage during shipment. Replace any damaged
replaceable parts.
NOTE: Units shipped without filter elements installed will be
tagged with a notice calling attention to this fact.
Check hex nuts on element mounting rods to be sure that
elements are securely mounted. Tighten nuts with torque
wrench to 60 in-lbs (5 ft-lbs) for separators and 360 in-lbs
(30 ft-lbs) for coalescers.
If no damage is found to exist in the unit, be sure to place
cover seal in proper location before bolting covers. Tighten all
bolting evenly and securely.
Provide suitable level concrete slab or metal platform and
anchor bolts of adequate size and bolt unit in place securely
before proceeding with connecting piping. It is recommended
that the filter-separator be installed into the system with a
minimum number of turns and fittings to minimize any
additional turbulence in the inlet connecting piping. This will
eliminate any further emulsification of the product and water
in the incoming product line, as well as minimize total system
pressure loss.
Be sure to correctly identify the inlet and outlet connections
of the filter-separator before connecting the unit in the
system. The unit will not perform correctly if the
connections are reversed.
All piping leading to and from the filter-separator must be
aligned as closely as possible with the connections on the unit
to avoid over stressing the body connections or flanges. Be
sure to use the correct gaskets between flanged connections.
Tighten all connection bolting evenly and securely.
IMPORTANT
If a positive displacement pump and/or automatic product
discharge control valve is used in the system, it is imperative
that adequate bypass piping around the filter-separator be
provided or a relief valve be installed on the filter-separator
in order to prevent excessive pressure which can develop
when the discharge control valve is closed.
Provide suitable vent and drain lines to conduct the fumes
and separated water away from the operating area.
Shutoff valves should be provided in all pipe lines leading to
and from the filter-separator to isolate the unit from the
piping system for servicing the unit or complete removal of
the unit from the process system.
Normally, all accessory items such as pressure gauges,
automatic air eliminators, liquid level gauges, relief valves,
automatic control valves and electric heaters are factory
installed before shipment. When such items are shipped in
separate containers, be sure to inspect all items for possible
damage before installing them to the filter-separator.
All tubing lines should be formed with care to prevent kinking
or flattening of the tubing.
Pre-Operational Check
After all piping connections have been made and all accessory
items installed, a check should be conducted before
submitting the unit to a fluid test. The following suggestions
and recommendations should be observed before conducting
the fluid test.
1. Make certain that all anchor bolts are tightened
securely.
2. Inspect all flanged connections to be sure that the
proper gaskets have been placed between flanges.

3. Check all flange bolts for tightness.
4. Check mounting bolts and screws on all accessory
items to be sure they are tightened securely.
5. Check all tubing lines to be sure they have not been
flattened or kinked. If tubing is damaged, replace
with new tubing.
6. Check all miscellaneous tube and pipe fittings to be
sure they are tightened sufficiently to prevent leaks.
Do not over-tighten threaded connections. Stripping
of threads may occur and result in leaking
connections.
7. Make certain that all main body flange bolts are
tight.
8. Check all packing nuts on valves to be sure they are
tightened sufficiently to prevent leaks.
9. Check packing glands on liquid level gauge for
tightness.
10. Check to make certain that all control valves are
connected as shown on furnished illustrations and
instructions.
11. Make certain that all electrical connections have
been made properly and are in conformance with
wiring diagrams and instructions.
12. Have electrical power lines checked for correct
voltage.
13. Make certain that the electrical equipment used in
the wiring system is of the explosion-proof type and
adequate size to ensure that full power is available
and no hazards are present. Fused circuits or circuit
breakers should be provided in the wiring system to
protect the electrical equipment from overloads.
14. If thermal insulation has been applied to the filter-
separator, make certain that the insulation does not
interfere with visual or operational functions of the
controls or instrumentation.
15. Make certain that all surplus materials, especially
combustible materials have been removed from the
operating area.
WARNING
Adequate fire-fighting equipment should be
provided at the filter-separator operating area
before conducting a fluid test and at all times when
performing any maintenance or service work on the
filter-separator. Provide "No Smoking" signs in the
operating area.
Safety Precautions
The following precautions are recommended for the safety of
personnel who operate the filter-separator system.
1. The fluid which is to be filtered is volatile. No
smoking is permitted in the area at any time where
the system pumps, storage tanks and the filter-
separator system are located.
2. All fluid spills must be cleaned up immediately with
wiping cloths, swabs, or brooms. Remove all
contaminated wiping cloths, swabs, or brooms from
the filter-separator operating area and dispose of
them in a FIRE-SAFE place.
3. All clothing soaked with fluid must be removed
immediately and disposed of in a FIRE-SAFE place.
4. An air mask may be worn when servicing the filter-
separator main body. Fluid resistant gloves must be
worn when handling parts that have been in contact
with the fluid.
5. When servicing the filter-separator assembly, allow
for maximum ventilation to disperse fumes.
NOTE: There will be a slight spillage of fluid mist
when the filter-separator is on stream when the
following components are in operation:
a. When the air eliminator vents the upper body
assembly or the manual vent valve is opened.
b. When excess thermal pressure is discharged
from the pressure relief valve.
c. When the low pressure fluid operates the pilot
valve, there is a very small residue of fluid
discharged by the pilot when the float changes
position. This residue is disposed of through the
atmospheric line.
6. Use only non-sparking tools when performing
maintenance work on the filter-separator or any of
its components.
7. Avoid unnecessary contact of fluid to skin and
clothes of personnel.
8. Avoid spillage of discharged fluid or drained water in
the area where the filtering system is in operation to
reduce injury due to slipping on the liquid.
9. Personnel should wash hands thoroughly after the
change of elements has been completed. Special
attention should be given to the fingernails. Apply
medication to any cuts or skin abrasions.
10. Secure medical attention for any serious cuts,
stomach discomfort, etc., after changing the
elements or performing maintenance or repair work
on the filter separator assembly and its components.
11. Secure medical attention for stomach discomfort,
etc., due to excessive inhalation of fumes.

Pre-Operation Test
After all the aforementioned procedures have been followed,
the filter-separator is ready for a fluid test prior to being
placed in full operation. Close the drain valves and open the
vent valves and/or vent plug on the unit. Open the liquid level
gauge valves. Start the system pump and open the blocking
valve in the inlet piping slowly. Allow the filter-separator to
fill slowly and completely. Close vents and open the blocking
valve slowly on the outlet piping.
CAUTION
Care must be exercised at all times when opening or closing
the valves controlling the flow of product through the filter-
separator to prevent hydraulic hammer which could cause
over stressing the main body and connections of the units.
Inspect all connections for leaks. Tighten connections where
necessary. If tightening connections fails to stop leaks, it
indicates faulty gaskets, damaged fittings, or threads. Replace
all faulty parts and recheck for leaks.
CAUTION
Only non-sparking tools should be used when performing
any maintenance or service work on this equipment.
Check pressure gauge to be sure it is working properly. Check
liquid level gauge to be sure fluid shows in glass tube. Both
main gauge valves must be open for gauge to work. Small
drain valve on bottom main valve should be closed.
If fluid fails to enter glass tube, check for obstructions in
connections on main body of filter-separator. The gauge
valves should remain open at all times when the filter-
separator is in operation.
When all corrective measures have been made and no leak
exists, remove all traces of product that has leaked from the
faulty connections immediately.
Clean entire operating area with broom, swabs and wiping
cloths. Dry area thoroughly.
Operation
After the initial installation of the filter-separator is
completed including the fluid test for leaks, the filter-
separator is ready for operation. To place the unit on-stream,
the following procedure must be observed.
1. Close all drain valves.
2. Open liquid level gauge valves.
3. Open vent valve and/or loosen vent plug.
NOTE: Filter-separator equipped with automatic air
eliminator – Step 3 will not be necessary. All high points in
the piping system should be purged of air.
4. Open the blocking valve in the outlet line leading
from the filter-separator.
5. Start the system pump and slowly open blocking
valve in the inlet line leading to filter-separator.
Allow the unit to fill slowly and completely. Allow
the vent valve to remain open long enough to permit
the escape of entrapped air from the unit. As soon as
a small amount of fluid flows from the opened vent
valve or loosened vent plug, close the vent and/or
tighten the vent plug.
6. When the unit is completely filled and vented, open
the inlet and outlet valves to a full open position.
Immediately check flow meter and insure that flow
rate does not exceed the rated flow of the filter-
separator.
7. If a differential pressure gauge is purchased with the
filter-separator unit, it will be factory installed.
Pressure gauge connections are provided on
almost all filter-separator units and a gauge should
be installed to help determine the necessity of
replacing the filter elements contained inside the
unit.
Observe the differential pressure and record pressures for
future reference.
IMPORTANT
For maximum performance efficiency, the elements must be
replaced when the differential pressure across the filter-
separator reaches 15 psi, or at least once each year,
depending on which occurs first.
Maintenance
Since there are no moving parts in the basic filter-separator
unit, the maintenance of the unit is minimized and limited to
the occasional replacement of the elements contained inside
the main body of the unit. The frequency of the filter element
replacement is generally dependent on the amounts of solid
contaminants in the incoming product stream.
When the pressure differential readings indicate that
replacement of the elements is necessary, the following
procedures must be observed.

follows: Thread the jam nuts onto the center rods
until center rods are extending through the jam nuts
per the element mounting hardware drawing
attached to the inside back cover of this manual.
Note the distance jam nuts are threaded up from the
bottom of center rods. Screw center rods into
element adaptors until jam nuts are securely lock in
place against element adaptors.
f. Clean all interior surfaces of the filter-separator
especially the surfaces of the element mounting
plate, element adaptors, center rods and all small
metal element mounting hardware.
g. Due to construction details used in vertical type
filter-separators, there is the possibility of portions
of accumulated dirt falling down into the clearwell
chamber when removing old elements or during the
cleaning process. It is recommended that the
clearwell chamber be flushed out with clean
processed filter product and drained before
installing new elements. This will eliminate the
possible carry-over of dirt into the outlet piping
when the unit is again placed onstream.
CAUTION
Elements should be handled by end caps only to prevent
damage. Use only Facet replacement elements. Do not mix
elements of different manufacture since they may have
different pressure drop and filtration characteristics.
h. Install new coalescer elements first. Torque to
30 ft-lbs.
i. Slide new separator elements onto center rods.
IMPORTANT
Filter-separator will not perform correctly if positions of

Coalescer Elements
Description
The coalescer elements perform two important functions:
(1) Combine small particles of water into large drops; (2)
filter out solid contaminants. The fluid stream flows from
inside to outside to provide the highest degree of coalescing
action. The coalescer elements are of uniform size to permit
interchangeability as operating needs change.
Construction
Coalescer elements are manufactured in several lengths. Each
element is 6” outside diameter and 3 ½” inches inside
diameter. Resin impregnated cellulose interpleat provides
rigid structural strength to with stand the rigors of field
operating conditions. This type of construction is not
normally found in tubular type elements. The element media
is encased snugly around a center tube and the outer shell
assemblies are securely adhered to the end caps. Treated
outer sock eliminates fungicidal growth and allows droplets
to enlarge for greater gravity fall off.
Specifications
All elements in the series are capable of withstanding
differential pressures in excess of 75 psig without structural
failure.
Paper Separator Elements
Description
The media of Facet separator elements are specially treated
to reject water in high flowing hydrocarbon streams. These
separator elements are designed as performance companions
to the Facet coalescer elements in two-stage filter-separator
equipment.
Construction
Facet separator elements are in several lengths. They are
available in pleated form. The pleat knuckles are pressed
firmly against the center tube to prevent pleat separation and
bridging. They are protected from physical damage in

Preparing Filter-Separator for Storage
If the filter-separator has been in service and it is decided to
remove it from the system and place it in storage, the
following recommendations and procedures should be
observed:
1. Stop pumping product to the filter-separator.
2. Close the valves in the inlet and outlet pipe lines to isolate
the unit from the piping system.
3. Open the drain and vent valves (or plugs). Allow adequate
time for the filter-separator to drain and vent completely.
4. Loosen cover bolts and open cover.
5. Remove and discard all old elements and cover gasket. See
section entitled "Maintenance" for element removal.
6. Clean and dry entire filter-separator both inside and out.
7. New elements may or may not be reinstalled. If elements
are not reinstalled in unit prior to storage, a tag should be
attached to the filter-separator denoting elements must be
installed into unit before returning filter-separator back in
service.
8. Install new cover gasket and close cover. Tighten cover
bolts.
9. Remove all accessory items such as air eliminator, pressure
gauges and all valves.
10. Plug or cap all threaded connections.
11. Protect inlet, outlet and other non-threaded openings
with suitable air and moisture proof covers.
12. Cover all unpainted surfaces with a preservative coating;
particularly machined surfaces such as flanges, nuts, bolt, etc.
13. Drain and blow out with air (not more than 50 psi) all
valves and fittings. Cover all open ends with tape or plugs.
14. Place all small parts in a box and seal box.
15. Mark distinctly on outside of box:
PARTS FOR FACET
FILTER-SEPARATOR
Model Number
Serial Number
All parts not placed in a box should be tagged in a similar
manner bearing the Model and Serial Numbers of the filter-
separator from which they were removed.
The separator and all component parts can be stored in this
manner for long periods of time in any climatic conditions
except salt air. For storage in areas where salt air is prevalent,
adequate steps should be taken to cover all ferrous parts with
a suitable coating to prevent corrosion.

FOR MAXIMUM WATER COALESCING
EFFICIENC AND SOLIDS HOLDING
CAPACIT
Facet CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridges offer the finest
performance available. This standard line of high flow
coalescer cartridges removes ultra-fine solids and
enhances separation of water from jet fuel.
The Facet coalescer separator housings equipped with
CAA Series 5 coalescer and companion separator
cartridges have been tested and fully qualified to meet
the performance requirements of EI 1581, Sixth Edition,
Category C
Built for balanced fluid flow-thru and structural
strength, each CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridge is a
single-piece construction of various combined media,
precisely arranged in many layers and pleats, wrapped
around a coated, perforated metal center tube — all
encased in an outer sock material. All are 6” OD (152
mm) by ½” ID (89 mm) and available in standard
interchangeable nominal lengths from 11 ¼” (290 mm)
to 57 ¼” (1450 mm).
The CAA Series 5 coalescer cartridges are available in
two cartridge mounting styles: self-centering rod mount
and screw base. The rod mount style has treated metal
end caps, while the screw base ends are injection
molded, glass-filled nylon. This screw base material
offers superior strength and ease of maintenance—
uniform threads, no shrinkage, no galling and no gasket
to recover.
A permanently affixed Buna-N gasket seals against the
V-type knife edge mounting adaptor to provide a
positive seal. It will not separate from the cartridge
during installation or change out.
