Oil water separation is no more a hassle.Kleen SEP Oil Water Separators are of advanced design with world class features such as Disc filters/ Auto oil evacuation/On-line monitoring and are available in capacities ranging from 1000 lph to 200 m³/hour. Principles of Separation / Coalescence :

• First, oil and water are not soluble in each other. Even the so called soluble oils are really an emulsion not a true solution.
• Second, water is denser than oil or petroleum based solvents. Naturally, unless other factors interfere, oil tends to separate and float on water –if given sufficient time.

Separation : Separating oil or solvents from water by mechanical means involves the application of some basic physical principles :

• by making the oil droplets larger (rises faster),
• by making the flow slower (get more time to separate), or
• by making the tank shallower (shorter average distance to rise to the surface).

All this assumes the flow in the tank is non-turbulent to prevent remixing the oil and water. Coalescence : Coalescence means coming together. It refers to small oil droplets coming into contact with other droplets and combining to form larger drops. In the dense coalescing media used in OWS the process is speeded up and oil separated out quickly. Technology : Oily water is pumped into the system by a centrifugal pump/air operated diaphragm pump, using a self levelling floating suction device that pulls in large amounts of floating oil along with water. The oily water travels through the Oil-Water Separator where oil is separated by coalescing media. The oil rises to the top of the separator and is continuously removed to an Oil collection tank on top of the separator and drains out continuously. Built-in simple back wash to clean the coalescing media in oil water separator is provided. Applications :

• Coolant tank tramp oil removal
• Component washing solution cleaning
• Compressor condensate water cleaning
• Ship bilge water recycling
• Rolling mill waste water...
