CM Series Hydrophobic Aviation Fuel Separator Cartridge EI 1581 Standard

CM separator cartridge is the top-selling secondary filter matched with CA coalescer cartridges in aviation fuel treatment, belonging to core hydrophobic separation consumables of Coalescing Filter product line. After coalescence treatment by CA elements, tiny water droplets still may be carried by fuel flow; this professional aviation fuel separator uses permanent hydrophobic mesh to repel water droplets completely, prevent water from entering aircraft fuel supply pipeline. Without qualified jet fuel water barrier, residual moisture will cause aircraft engine fault, so CM series becomes mandatory matching fuel separation element for all aviation fuel depots. All products pass EI 1581 inspection, compatible with Facet standard vessels, work together with CA coalescers to build complete two-stage filtration, included in gas filter element product system.

Working Principle of CM Separator Cartridge

Jet fuel mixed with settled fine water mist passes through the CM separator cartridge. The hydrophobic mesh structure of aviation fuel separator repels all water particles, only allows hydrocarbon fuel to pass through filter layer. Blocked water accumulates into larger droplets, flow down along outer filter surface to the bottom settling zone of filter housing. This mechanism effectively eliminates liquid carryover issue after coalescing stage, outlet fuel water content can be controlled below 8ppm, meeting strict aviation fuel quality standard.

Product Strengths

1 Stable Hydrophobic Performance
PTFE coating will not fall off under long-time fuel scouring, keeps reliable water blocking effect in whole service cycle.

2 High Mechanical Strength
stainless steel support skeleton resists fuel impact, no deformation under fluctuating flow rate.

3 Perfect Compatibility With CA Series
Unified dimension design realizes direct replacement for original supporting separator cartridges.

4 Low Flow Resistance
uniform mesh structure maintains low pressure drop to reduce pipeline operation energy consumption.

Application Range

jet fuel water barrier is widely applied in airport fuel depots, aviation kerosene refineries and fuel transportation terminals. For industrial water treatment, we provide full Water Filter Element (RO & UF Membrane) solutions.
