Abstract
Abstract The increased dieselization of the internal combustion engine and other energy related considerations are the impetus for higher performance, longer life petroleum product filters. A better understanding of the role of interfacial phenomena, in the non-aqueous filtration applications, is needed for improved products. This review paper focuses on the effect of interfacial phenomena in the coalescence and separation of water emulsions from fuel oil and on the removal of fine suspended solids from petroleum hydrocarbons, for conditions relevent to end-of-line cartridge filtration applications. Work, during the last two decades, specifically concerned with these interfacial effects has been reviewed in this paper.
