Plastic honeycomb (stacked egg carton) Coalescing Media

Plastic honeycomb (stacked egg carton) Coalescing Media

Stacked Egg Carton Media is one kind of oil-water separation media designed with an alternating stacked honeycomb structure, specially engineered for high-efficiency oil-water separation. Its unique "egg carton" appearance and structure provide a large surface area, making it an ideal choice for modern industrial oil-water separation systems. It is particularly suited for applications with low solid loading, such as cooling towers and industrial wastewater treatment.

These PVC Honeycomb Fills are produced through a continuous forming process that minimizes resistance to airflow, enhancing cooling efficiency while lowering power consumption. They maintain a consistent thickness throughout, ensuring reliable performance. The durable folded edges provide added strength at critical points on the fill, making them more resilient during operation. Additionally, the fills are easy to glue on-site, which helps save on transportation costs.

Product Features

  • High Surface Area Design: The Stacked Egg Carton Media is composed of alternating PVC plastic sheets, forming a honeycomb-like structure. The cubic shape of each unit and the staggered stacking design significantly increase the surface area, improving oil-water separation efficiency.
  • Enhanced Structural Integrity: The corrugations and rigid construction of the media provide excellent structural stability, ensuring that it maintains its shape and high-efficiency performance over time, even under operational conditions.
  • Cost-Effective Solution: Due to its simple manufacturing process, Stacked Egg Carton Media offers a highly cost-effective solution, making it ideal for applications that require economical oil-water separation systems.
  • Cleanable and Reusable: The media can be periodically cleaned and reused, reducing replacement costs and extending its service life, ensuring stable operation over the long term.

Applications

  • Cooling Tower Applications: Suitable for low solid-content cooling tower systems, helping to remove oil droplets and fine particles, maintaining optimal system performance.
  • Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Effectively removes oil droplets from industrial wastewater, ensuring the water quality meets discharge standards.
  • Other Oil-Water Separation Systems: Ideal for a variety of oil-water separation units, especially in cases where high surface area is required for efficient oil removal.

Performance Advantages

  • High-Efficiency Oil Removal: The unique structural design allows oil droplets to quickly coalesce with other droplets, forming larger droplets that rise to the surface, effectively removing oil.
  • Solid Handling Capability: Its multi-layer design effectively handles low solid-content wastewater, preventing solid buildup that could impact separation efficiency.
  • Low Maintenance Costs: Compared to traditional oil-water separation technologies, Stacked Egg Carton Media is easier to maintain. Its design allows for easy cleaning, reducing frequent replacement and maintenance costs associated with clogging and fouling.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is it suitable for applications with high solid loading? Stacked Egg Carton Media is primarily designed for low solid-loading applications. If your wastewater contains a high amount of solids, additional solid-handling units may be needed.
  • Is cleaning and maintenance complicated? While the media is designed to be cleanable and reusable, in applications with high solid loading, regular cleaning is still required to maintain consistent separation efficiency.

Conclusion

Stacked Egg Carton Media is an economical and high-performance oil-water separation media that provides excellent oil removal capabilities. Its unique structural design and large surface area make it an ideal choice for industrial wastewater treatment, cooling tower applications, and other oil-water separation needs. 

We offer both loose sheets and finished fill blocks for PVC film type cooling tower fills. While both options are available, most clients prefer loose sheets due to their ability to save on volume and freight costs. Loose sheets are more compact and cost-effective for shipping, making them a preferred choice for many clients.
