Facet International is the world leader in jet fuel handling, industrial coalescer separators, bilge water separator and other separation technology. Advanced filtration and separation products and systems for aviation, marine, petrochemical, water treatment, power generating and general industrial markets.

Facet electric freeze-proofing systems are designed to prevent damage to oil/water separators from freezing temperatures. Each system is custom designed to meet the needs of the particular climatic conditions.

Facet's systems are provided in either screw-plug type or flanged, depending on the size of the overall system and conditions. The heating elements are normally immersion type, but external heaters may be specified if necessary. The heaters consist of hairpin bent tubular heating elements brazed or welded into a pipe plug (or flange) and provided with a terminal housing for electrical connections. Installation is accomplished by screwing the heater into a threaded pipe coupling welded into the separator. Facet's factory installs all heaters. Standard heater sizes are 1½" and 2" NPT and 3" and 4" flanged, depending on the amount of heat required. A wide selection of heater wattages and options is available.
