Oil-Water Separators
Above Left: Biomin’s Oil water /separator with two chambers. One on the left is used to break down chemical emulsions with PACL or acids. The one on the right is used to add NaOH to raise the ph back up. Above Right: OIL/Water separator, followed by an EC-2000 unit to polish water to zero oil content.
HydroQuip
A 3-Tiered Approach Package:
1. DAF System
2. pH Adjustment System
3. Inclined Plate Clarifier
with Polymers
Your Total Solution For:
- Separation of mechanical emulsions,
chemical emulsions and soluble oil - Chemical treatment and Dissolved Air
Flotation (DAF) - Precipitation and removing dissolved,
emulsified and colloidal contaminants - Reduce TSS, BOD and FOG discharge limits
- Chemical treatment and coalesce
- Chemical treatment and clarify
Oil in Water Conditions
Free Oil
- Droplet size 10 microns and larger
- Will separate in a 6″ high beaker in 90 seconds
- Requires gravity separation such as API type
Dispersed
- Droplet size 149 microns to 20 microns
- Will separate in a 6″ high beaker in 80 minutes
- Requires gravity coalescing such as the OCS separator
Mechanically Emulsified Oil
- Droplet less than 20 microns in size
- Will not separate in a 6″ high beaker in 80 minutes
- Requires chemical treatment and coalescing or chemical treatment and Dissolved Air Floatation or Ultra Filtration
Chemically Emulsified Oil
- Droplet less than 20 microns in size with surfactants or emulsifiers present
- Will not separate in a 6″ high beaker in 80 minutes
- Requires chemical treatment and coalescing or chemical treatment and DAF or UF, the surfactants will pass through with the permeate
Soluble Oil
- No discernible droplet size and the ions are crossed linked in the water
- Will not separate in a 6″ high beaker in 80 minutes
- Requires chemical treatment and coalescing or chemical treatment and DAF or UF, (with solublizers staying with the permeate)
