Water Separators

  • A four-fold brochure from McTighe Industries, Bohemia, N.Y.

    summarizes high-flow and low-flow oil water separators capable of removing oils and/or other volatile liquids and solids from wastewater, water draw-off systems and an EPA-approved biocide known as Karacide.

    The separators, utilizing the parallel and corrugated plate theory together with the new Petro Pak®, remove oil particles down to 20 microns in size and produce an effluent quality of less than 10 ppm of oil to meet the most stringent environmental regulations.

    The water draw-off systems or Product Saver is the most effective method of removal of contaminated water bottoms from above or below ground oil storage tanks.

    Karacide seeks out and destroys microbial contaminants in petroleum products, oil-water separators, marine ballast tanks, etc. and upon penetrating the oil-water interface/ sludge bottom, 30 to 40 percent of this emulsification will return to pure product resulting in a clean water bottom and a completely sterilized vessel.
