Oil<\/span>separators<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n

Waste water released by plants whose processing cycle includes oil and grease (garages, body repair shops, car washes, etc.) can be treated by means of a gravity oil separator.<\/p>\n

In this case waste water is directed into static decanters in which oil builds up on the surface; the clarified water can thus be discharged.<\/p>\n

Such process is made up of the following stages:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Decantation and sludge separation: water is retained for the time needed for separating the settleable substances (sludge, soil, sand, etc.)<\/li>\n
  • Oil separation: waste water is directed into a stilling tank in which oil can reach the surface and be removed by means of a mechanically adjustable overflow channel<\/li>\n
  • Filtration through oil-absorbing panels or a coalesce filter: to further reduce outgoing oil concentration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n
