Oil Water Separators For Ships

These Oil water separators for ships, also known as superset oily water separator, which make use of latest coalescence principle. These are two stage separators, which includes primary and secondary stages. Under the primary separating stage, the conical or parallel plates are used for removing coarse oil globules.

In the secondary stage coalescing cartridges are used for removing very fine oil globules. Before starting the operation, the entire system is primed with clean water. The pump sucks the oily water from the oily water storage tanks and transfers it to the primary stage. Under this stage a large surface area is provided for the oily water to flow, which helps in coalescing finer oil globules. After that the water with traces of oils is discharged into the secondary stage, where it is passed through coalescing filters.

These filters hold the phase of dispersed oil and when it becomes saturated with oil, large oil globules are released, which gets separated easily. The separated oil is sensed by the level control probes, which are fitted on the top portion of both the columns. These probes activated the corresponding electropneumatic and electromagnetic valves, which drains out the accumulated oil, from the separator. Oil water mixtures containing upto 30% oil can be handled using this system. These systems can operate automatically.

Salient Features:
* Uses Coalescence principle for separation of fine oil globules.
* Combination sys
