OILSEIZER®

Integrated Oil/Water Separator, Pack-Type (formerly Floating Oil Skimmer)

KOWS/I series Oil/Water Separators are widely used to separate oils mixed together within in-line circulating oily water and solution. These are frequently applied in situations where (1) an appropriate time is not allowed until mechanically suspended oil droplets freely rise up to water surface or (2) an appropriate space is unavailable for setting larger settling tanks or where (3) rapider oil/water separation of in-line oily water is necessary that has virtually been unavailable by plain gravity separators with no coalescing pack or by ordinary oil skimmers. Integrated Oil/Water Separators are composed of a KOWS Pack-type Oil/Water Separator, oily water supply pump and floating suction unit. Also called floating oil skimmers.

How it works

Oily water is fed through the floating suction unit and oily water supply pump to the inflow chamber of O/W separator and rapidly separates into three phases (oil, water and solid) when passing through the separation chamber equipped with oil coalescing media packs that provide high surface area for coalescing minute oil droplets as much as possible. Coalescing and growing bigger, oil droplets consequently rise up to above the pack and gravitationally discharge through the rotary pipe skimmer. Treated water (clean) flows outside through the outflow chamber. Most of suspended heavy solid particles settle down first in the inflow chamber, then in the separation chamber do less heavy ones. Solid sludge settled on each chamber bottom should periodically be cleaned up.

Features

- KOWSI O/W Separator consists of a stainless steel separating tank, one- or two-staged oil coalescing media pack, and rotary pipe skimmer. As the integrated system additionally includes a oily water supply pump and floating suction unit, KOWSI is readily available for operation once installed at the final location.

- Separation of oil globules down to 20 microns

- Removal of mechanically or temporarily dispersed oils in the turbulent water

- Durable tank made of stainless steel (SS304). Compact design. Least installation space

- Media packs in the separation chamber enhance the function of rapid gravity separation because of their unique vertical matrix of perforated oleophilic tubes in poly or stainless steel, or because of their very high surface compact packs in poly.

Specifications

- In transferring treated water (clean) high above the outlet level, an auxiliary service tank with a pump should be prepared by customer.

- Pre-installation considerations: oils (not chemically emulsified), hourly peak of oily water, ratio of oil to water, amount of solid in water, tank (aboveground or underground), water pH and temperature, available electric voltage
