Description
The Parker Velcon CO Series Clay Canister Cartridge intended for use in all clay treatment vessels designed for nominal 6 and 7in x 18in cartridges. The treatment/purification medium is a special blend of low volatile materials (LVM) fuller's earth compounded to provide the optimum balance between adsorptive capacity and water resistance.
One of the most common uses for clay elements is to remove surfactants from jet fuels. Surfactants can carry over from the refinery process or be picked up when the jet fuel travels through multiproduct pipelines (corrosion inhibitors, gasoline additives, etc.). Surfactants will eventually disarm filter/separators, which are primarily designed to remove water from the jet fuel. By removing surfactants from the fuel, the clay elements protect the downstream filter/separators. Since clay removes the surfactants by an adsorbent (adhering) action, the fuel residence time, or time in contact with the clay, is crucial for proper fuel treatment.
