Coalescence efficiency of surface modified PBT meltblown nonwovens in the separation of water from diesel fuel containing surfactants

Removal of water from diesel fuel is essential to ensure efficient operation of High-Pressure Common-Rail (HPCR) fuel injection systems used in modern diesel engines. The presence of surfactants in modern fuels (including biofuels) can create conditions in which the interfacial tension between water...
