Oil-wate separators MM for environmental treatment of industrial wastewater and marine skimmer discharge

The optimum configuration of Plate-Pak® and mesh

ACS oil-water separator concepts, generally adaptable to both land and sea applications

Gear pump

First coalescing stage: Plate-Pak® Separated oil to storage

Valves controlled by interface levels, discharging oil as fast as it collects in oil "boot" chambers

Large coalesced oil drops rise rapidly.

Third coalescing stage: more knitted mesh

Second coalescing stage: knitted mesh

Centrifugal pump controlled to maintain desired water flow

Separated water to discharge, typically 3-5 ppm oil

Dual strainers or filters as required for debris or suspended solids

Oily water drawn in by suction of discharge pumps
