Validation tests were carried out based upon tests specified in Military Specification MIL-F-8901. The Electrocoalescer has demonstrated excellent performance, has passed the validation test, and showed an improved performance over that of the Military Standard Filter Separator. When tested with diesel fuel, the improvement was on the order of a factor of 10 or more. Moreover, it demonstrated a lower overall pressure drop. Use of the Electrocoalescer in fuels decontamination service is expected to result in cleaner fuels and longer filter life.
