Oil and Petroleum Derivatives Separators

Petroleum derivatives separators are specialized devices designed for the efficient removal of oil, gasoline, and other petroleum derivatives from wastewater.

These devices are crucial for protecting water streams and the environment from pollution by petroleum derivatives, which is often present in industrial, commercial, and some residential areas.

Characteristics of Oil and Petroleum Derivatives Separators

Oil and petroleum derivatives separators are designed to utilize the density differences between water and petroleum derivatives. Petroleum derivatives, being lighter than water, accumulate on the surface where they can be easily removed. These separators are made from corrosion-resistant materials, such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and reinforced concrete, making them durable and resistant to harsh working conditions.

Gravity Separators of Oil and Petroleum Derivatives

The gravity separators produced by our company represent an efficient solution for the separation of fats and oils from wastewater. Our separators are based on the principle of the difference in specific weights between water and oil, allowing for the efficient separation of these substances. Each separator is designed as a two-chamber system that optimizes the separation process.

In the first chamber, the wastewater settles, allowing heavier particles such as sludge, sand, and other impurities to settle at the bottom of the chamber. This phase is crucial as it prevents solid particles from entering the oil and fat separation process, which could reduce the efficiency of the separator.

The second chamber is the heart of our separator, where oil and petroleum are separated from water. Due to the different specific weights, oil and petroleum naturally float on the surface of the water, from where they can be easily removed. This process is completely natural and does not require additional energy, achieving high energy efficiency of the entire system.

Our gravity separators are designed with attention to detail, ensuring that the separation process is smooth and efficient. The materials from which the separators are made are of high quality, corrosion-resistant, and durable, guaranteeing reliable operation and minimal maintenance.

They are designed to be easily integrated into existing wastewater treatment systems offering a reliable solution for industries, catering facilities, and other applications where efficient removal of oil, petroleum, and fats from wastewater is needed. Our gravity separators contribute to environmental protection and the maintenance of clean waters, thereby raising the ecological standard of your business.

Oil and Petroleum Derivatives Separators with Coalescent Filter

Oil and petroleum derivatives separators with a coalescent filter are specialized wastewater treatment systems that efficiently remove oils and petroleum derivatives. The basic working principle of these separators is based on the density difference between water and petroleum derivatives, but coalescent filters further enhance the separation process.

How do coalescent filters work?

Working Principle:

Coalescent filters are designed to increase the effective surface area where tiny oil droplets can combine into larger ones.
As water passes through the filter, tiny oil droplets collide with the filter material and with other droplets, merging into larger droplets that are large enough to naturally float to the surface.

Filter Material:

Filters are often made from materials that attract oil droplets, such as special types of plastics or metal meshes with special coatings

Efficiency:

Coalescent filters allow for the removal of even the smallest oil droplets that could not be separated by standard gravitational methods efficiently.
They significantly reduce the amount of oil in the wastewater, often to levels that meet strict environmental standards.
Oni značajno smanjuju količinu ulja u otpadnoj vodi, često na nivoe koji zadovoljavaju stroge ekološke standarde.

Application:

Separators with coalescent filters are used in industries where wastewater treatment cannot rely solely on gravity, such as petrochemical companies, car washes, industrial plants, and others.

Advantages of Separators with Coalescent Filter:

They reduce the need for frequent maintenance, as larger oil droplets are easier to collect and remove.
They increase the capacity of the separator, enabling the treatment of a larger volume of wastewater in a shorter time period.
They improve the quality of water discharged into public sewers or natural watercourses, contributing to environmental protection.

Maintenance and Management of Separators with Coalescent Filter

Coalescent filters require regular maintenance to ensure they do not become clogged with oil droplets.
Filters must be regularly checked and cleaned, and replaced if necessary to maintain system efficiency.
It is necessary to monitor the quality of treated water and conduct regular analyses to ensure that the separator meets regulations and standards.

Separators with coalescent filters are a vital part of wastewater management infrastructure in industrial plants, ensuring that petroleum derivatives do not enter the environment, thus helping to preserve ecosystems.

Separators with Biological Sponge

Separators with a biological sponge are advanced wastewater treatment systems used to remove oils and petroleum derivatives from water before it is discharged into the environment or further treated. These systems combine physical oil separation using traditional flotation and sedimentation methods with biological treatment that ensures the breakdown of petroleum derivatives.

Details about the Process:

Physical Separation:

At the separator’s inlet, wastewater passes through a chamber where larger particles settle at the bottom due to density differences.
Lighter petroleum derivatives such as oil float on the surface, where they can be mechanically removed.

Biological Treatment:

After the initial physical separation, water comes into contact with the biological sponge.
The sponge is made of porous material that provides ideal conditions for the growth of microorganisms.
These microorganisms are specialized in decomposing oils and petroleum derivatives.

Coalescence:

In some systems, the biological sponge is combined with a coalescent filter that helps in merging smaller oil droplets into larger ones, facilitating their removal.

Pollutant Degradation:

Microorganisms on the sponge consume petroleum derivatives, converting them into harmless components such as carbon dioxide, water, and biomass.

Sponge Regeneration:

The biological sponge can be regenerated or replaced after a certain period or when its degradation capacity diminishes.

Advantages of Separators with Biological Sponge:

High Efficiency: Biological sponges significantly increase the efficiency of oil degradation compared to traditional methods.
Sustainability: The system does not rely on chemical treatments and uses natural processes for wastewater treatment.
Longevity: Sponges are designed to last longer and require less maintenance.
Environmentally Friendly: The end products of biological degradation are environmentally safe.
Cost-Effectiveness: Biological sponges reduce the costs of maintenance and management of separators.

Installation and Maintenance of Separators with Biological Sponge:

Separators can be installed as standalone systems or as part of a larger wastewater treatment system.
Regular inspection and maintenance are key to ensuring continuous operation and efficiency of the system.
Maintenance includes checking the integrity of the sponge, removing accumulated oil and sludge, and replacing or regenerating the sponge if necessary.

Separators with biological sponge represent a significant advancement in wastewater treatment technology, offering a sustainable and efficient solution for industries facing problems with petroleum derivative pollution.

Oil and Petroleum Derivative Separators with Bypass

Oil and petroleum derivative separators with bypass are specialized systems designed for treating wastewater containing oils and petroleum derivatives, especially during heavy rainfall.

When there is a large influx of water, as is the case during storms, the bypass system allows excess water, which could overload the separator, to be diverted directly to the drain or receiver. This prevents not only overflow or spillage within the separator but also ensures that only the volume of water the system can efficiently treat is processed through the separator.

Characteristics of Oil and Petroleum Derivative Separators with Bypass:

Adjustable Flow: The bypass system is designed to automatically respond to variable water flow, allowing optimal operation regardless of changes in precipitation volume.
Separator Protection: With the bypass, separators are protected from excessive pressure and potential damage that could be caused by sudden increases in water flow.
Efficient Processing: Basic treatment occurs under normal conditions, while the bypass is used during storms, ensuring that the treatment quality standard does not decrease under any conditions.
Construction: Separators with bypass can be vertical or horizontal, depending on the plant’s needs and available space.
Technological Processes Within the Separator:
Sedimentation: Heavy fractions settle at the bottom of the separator.
Flotation: Free oils are separated from the water and collected on the surface, where coalescent filters further process them.
Sorption Purification: Additional purification is carried out through sorption material, with the possibility of regenerating or replacing filter material.
Maintenance: Separators require regular visual inspection, removal of accumulated oil and sludge, and maintenance of coalescent filters and sorption material.
Materials: Made from durable materials such as HDPE (high-density polyethylene), separators are resistant to corrosion, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures.
Installation: The system’s installation is relatively simple, and their design allows integration into existing drainage systems without the need for complex works or alterations.

Separators with bypass are essential for industrial plants, gas stations, car washes, and other facilities where oils and petroleum derivatives are frequently handled, especially in urban areas or regions where heavy rainfall is common.
