Oil Water Separator > Item # OWS 25

Oil Water Separator

The best technology for oil/water separation is the coalescence principle. This technology accelerates the process which oil and water do naturally, separate. It is done with no moving parts and is based on principles consistent with gravity and buoyancy. Separation of any two immiscible fluids is possible with Oakland Products oil/water separators.

Application

• Metal working shops
• Floor drains
• Compressor blowdown
  Transportation
• Truck terminals
• Rail / Bus maintenance
• Fueling stations
  Site remediation
• Storm water run-off
• Landfill leachate
• Ground water treatment
  Parts washing / plating
• Alkaline cleaners
• Plating solutions

Operation

The Oakland Products oil/water separators are free standing units designed to remove oils and solids efficiently while taking up little floor space. The system utilizes an oleophilic media to attract small droplets of oil and solids and then allows them to settle or float. Floating skimmer is on the source connected to a pump. The pump pumps the top layer of oil and water to separator. Oil free water returns to source by gravity and oil goes to proper container.

Benefits

• Compact, complete system
• unattended operation-systems sized per application
• Gravity flow
• Low maintenance
• Reduces new fluid costs
• Short payback time
• Reduces floating oils to less than 1%
• Unique oil attracting media

Construction

• Carbon steel
• Stainless
• Polypropylene
• Insulated for washer applications
