How is
15ppm reached in an Oily Water Separator?
15ppm is
achieved in an Oily Water Separator by normally passing through a Two Stage
Separator where in the first stage Oil/Water is passed into the coarse
separating compartment. Here some oil will rise to the top of the Compartment
due to its lower density, Heating Coils may aid this.
The remaining Oil/Water will flow down into
the Fine separating Compartment and moves slowly between Catch Plates. More Oil will separate out onto the underside
of these Plates and travel outwards until free to rise to the oil collecting
space.
The almost Oil Free Water
(usually being at 100ppm at this stage) will then pass to the second stage of
the separator, which is a Filter Unit comprising of two Filter Units.
The first Filter Stage removes Physical
Impurities present and promotes some Fine Separation.
The second Stage Filter uses Coalescer Inserts
to achieve the fina, Oil/Water Mixture leaving this Stage at less
than 15ppm.
