As you can already guess, oil-water separators work to extract oil from water. As we see a rise in world trade, our seas will also see a rise in container ships. And, ships produce a lot of oil-water mixtures that need to be separated before lodging the water out of the ship. Oil-water separators were created with this issue in mind.
However, at the present time, OWS Plants are used in many industries to meet the compliance regulated by water authorities. Be it mining sites or service stations; an OWS can help you out.
Salient Features :
The main purpose of setting an Oil Water Separation plant is to ensure discharging wastewater from factories and ships doesn’t include oil in them. OWS plants can also sanitize sewer water. OWS systems of Ecologics India Pvt. Ltd. is designed to tackle pumped flow on both single passings and recirculated passing.
Applications
Oil-water separators are designed to remain simplistic yet effective tools to capture oil and contaminants from the wastewater flows. This system consists of a separator vessel that is built with carbon steel. This carbon steel structure is painted with special corrosion resisting coating on both the inner and outer sides. It ensures a longer service maintenance-free service life.
However, to cut some investment, you can skip the carbon steel vessel with something less costly like stainless steel, plastic, or concrete vessel. These can also work fine for a decade or longer.
Various Types of OWS
OSW systems mainly come in three different variants depending on their place of use. Here are brief details about them
API Separator
It separates the gross amount of oil and suspended solids from effluent wastewater. API separators are mainly used in petrochemical plants, oil refineries, natural gas refineries and chemical plants.
Marine Oil Water Separator
This one is primarily used in container and cruise ships. Its main purpose is to protect our oceans from being contaminated by ship fuels. Oil leaking from machinery like diesel generators and air compressors gets mixed with water inside of a ship. Marine separator's job is to separate the oil and discharge the rectified water into the ocean.
Gravity Plate Separator
These types of separators contain a series of plates within which the wastewater flows. These plates collect oil droplets from sourced water and send them into the waste oil tank with the help of gravity. This separator is quite common in many industrial parks throughout India.
Salient Features of our OWS
- Environment-friendly components that match with Govt. regulations
- Oil and TSS limits will be achieved as per the PESO norms
- It is a total water recycling system that not only separates oil but also separates other contaminants
- Solid structural build quality
- Less resource needed for maintenance
Application
- Cruise ships and large container ships
- Railway generator yards
- Oil refineries
- Petrochemical refineries
- Chemical Industries
- Natural Gas mines
- Auto salvage yards
- Paper plants
- Electrical substations and power plants
- Vehicle wash stations
- Industrial water treatment plants
- Fuel stations or petrol pumps
Oil-water separation plants are a compulsory component in many industries due to strict government regulations regarding waste oil discharge. This machinery not only helps to comply with rules but also saves our environment from being contaminated.
