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.
