Understanding our oil water separator system

Step 1

Pre-treatment

This first stage involves the introduction of the contaminated water mixture into the separator.

Step 2

Primary separation

Emulsified oil droplets and solids rise to the surface and form a layer of floating sludge, which can be mechanically removed.

Step 3

Coalescence

The water moves into a coalescing chamber equipped with specialised coalescing systems to separate oil.

Step 4

Secondary separation

The remaining oil and smaller suspended solids continue to rise to the surface.

Step 5

Discharge

The clarified water, which has undergone multiple stages of separation, exits the oil water separator system through an outlet pipe.
