Mechanical Separation Limitations
Mechanical oil water separator systems are designed to separate free-floating and non-emulsified oils from wastewater. Stable chemical emulsions and soluble oils typically require alternative treatment methods beyond traditional mechanical separation processes.
How the Wastewater Treatment Process Works
Oil-contaminated wastewater flows by gravity into the underground treatment tank where the internal separation components are installed. The wastewater first enters the silt chamber through an inlet pipe equipped with an automatic shut-off system. This stage helps regulate flow while allowing heavier solids and debris to settle before the treatment process begins.
Oil Collection and Flow Control
After passing through the silt chamber, the wastewater moves into the primary treatment section. An internal inlet deflector redirects the flow and creates controlled movement toward the collection surface. As the water slows, larger oil droplets naturally rise and separate for collection and removal.
Coalescent Plate Treatment Process
The remaining wastewater then flows through the plate pack treatment chamber. Inside this section, oleophilic corrugated coalescent plates help capture and separate smaller residual oil droplets from the water. The non-corroding plate design improves treatment efficiency while supporting dependable long-term operation.
Treated Water Outlet and Sampling
A submerged outlet pipe helps prevent collected surface oil from leaving the system with the treated water. The system also includes an accessible sampling point located at the top of the submerged outlet pipe, allowing operators to safely inspect treated water quality when needed.
