Oil / Water separators (OWS) can be costly to maintain, and if not properly managed, can pollute surface and ground water, and lead to costly violations. The less solids and oils must be removed from the OWS and the better it will work. Also, minimize the amount of wash water reaching the OWS. Excessive water flow can flood an OWS, forcing wastewater through it too fast to allow separation; the result: oil and other contaminants pass right through to the sewer. A pressure relief chamber separates condensate and expanding air. The condensate then passes a sedimentation compartment – easy to remove and therefore easy to clean. Free floating oil is siphoned off into an oil can. Two coalescing filters with their additional oil separation effect reduce the oil concentration of the condensate before it is fed – after interim storage in an internal buffer tank – into the ultra filtration process. Now oil and water molecules are filtered: water passes the membrane, oil is retained. Pure water leaves the unit ready to be drained. |
