Facet International, a member of the Purolator Advanced Filtration
Group, is a recognized world leader in oil water separation, aviation
fuel filtration, filter plate coalescers and many other technologies.
Facet's advanced filtration and separation products and systems serve
a variety of customers in the aviation, marine, petrochemical, power
generation and general industrial markets.
Since the development of the first aviation fuel coalescer in 1943,
Facet has been at the forefront of aviation fuel handling. Facet claims
many "firsts" in the aviation industry including the two-stage
filter separator; Posi-stop fuel monitor; CIF cartridge; and API 1581,
Fourth Edition, Category M-100 cartridges, just to name a few. And,
Facet's influence extends worldwide to the world's largest airports
from California, to Florida and to London, Korea, and Tokyo. Facet manufactures
a complete line of products for the aviation industry to ensure that
clean, dry fuel is provided every step of the way -- from the refinery
to the wing tip.
Facet provides environmental protection by supplying answers to oil/water
separation. The secret is our Multiple Angle Coalescing Media –
or coalescing plates – which utilize the difference in specific
gravity as a means of separation..
Industrial markets benefit from Facet's a complete line of filtration/separation
equipment for processing industrial fluids, machine tool coolant, and
oil/water and air/gas mixtures. Products include filtration and separation
of two immiscible liquids, as well as filtration and separation of liquids
from air/gas. Of particular interest in the Industrial marketplace is
Facet's patented coalescing plate technology that allows for extremely
efficient oil/water separation without the use of consumable items such
as filter elements, coalescing pads, or absorbents.
For the power generation industries, Facet offers filters, coalescers
and separators to assure the highest quality of lube oils, transformer
oils and gas turbine fuels.
In the petrochemical market, Facet meets the needs of the chemical
and oil refining industries with an extensive line of filtration and
oil/water separation products. Our products are specified for major
processing plants, and we supply refineries worldwide with many types
of filtration products. With a wide range of proven materials used in
the construction of our elements, Facet offers products that are compatible
with most applications and service requirements.
Using expertise gained in refineries, petrochemical facilities and
in the handling of aviation fuels, Facet developed its first IMO approved
bilge water treatment package over 25 years ago. Our bilge water separation
systems are only one of many products intended for marine markets. Other
products include desalinators, potabilizers and sewage treatment plants.
Our roots go back to World War II when the U.S. Department of the Navy
requested that the Warner Lewis Company design the first aviation fuel
water coalescer. The military has depended on Facet's fuel handling
expertise ever since. Today, Facet supplies the U.S. military with fuel,
lube oil and oil/water separation/filtration equipment around the world
on land, sea, and in the air.
