Our Oil Removal System service offers advanced solutions for efficiently separating and removing oil and grease from water, ensuring clean, compliant, and environmentally safe water for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
Process Overview:
Oil removal systems use a combination of physical and chemical techniques to separate both free-floating and emulsified oils from water. These systems are crucial in businesses that produce oily wastewater, such as manufacturing, petrochemicals, food processing, and maritime operations.
Details:
Gravity Separation: One of the most commonly utilized technologies in oil removal systems, takes use of the density differential between oil and water. Water containing oil is carried through a separator, where oil droplets rise to the surface and are skimmed off due to their lower density, while clean water exits at the bottom. This process is frequently aided by coalescing plates or media, which cause oil droplets to coalesce and rise more quickly.
Coalescing Filters: These filters are comprised of materials that attract and catch oil droplets when water flows past them. The droplets coalesce (combine) to form larger droplets that can be easily removed from the water stream. Coalescing filters are extremely successful in removing dispersed and emulsified oils, which are difficult to separate using gravity alone.
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF): During this procedure, microscopic air bubbles are introduced into the water and attach to oil particles, causing them to float to the surface. The oily froth is then scraped off, leaving clean water behind. DAF is very successful in removing fine oil droplets, and it is frequently employed as a secondary treatment step following gravity separation.
Hydrocyclones: Hydrocyclones use centrifugal force to separate oil and water. The oily water is fed into a cylindrical chamber at high speed, causing the oil to migrate to the center and the water to the edges. The separated oil is collected in the center, while clean water is discharged at the outer edge.
Activated Carbon: For final polishing, activated carbon can be employed to absorb any leftover trace amounts of oil or hydrocarbons, ensuring that the treated water fulfills high quality standards.
