Airports
Machine shops
Military facilities
Industrial facilities
Parking lots

Third stage of coalescence
This fine-tunes the coalescence phenomena by means of oleophilic polypropylene meshes, which trap and coalesce, by accumulation, the smaller particles which were not separated in the parallel plaque stage.

Effluent outflow
The clean effluent discharges by gravity through a Tee at the bottom. The separated oil concentrates in the upper part, from where it is removed by a skimmer horizontal tube or a de-thickener.

EXPECTED PERFORMANCE

Inflow
The ECOIL Oil-water separator is designed to handle intermittent and variable inflows of oil-water.

Oils and fats (Hydrocarbons) equal or less than 300mg/lt

Effluent
The outgoing effluent should not contain a concentration of fats and oils over 10mg/lt (10ppm)

Liquid-liquid separation is through structured mesh coalescing.

The liquid-liquid mixtures should be settled and then coalesced in different stages for their final separation.

The coalescing self-supporting structure performs well with clean or contaminated liquids due to the great number of monofilaments which are perpendicular to the flow lines, the high percentage of free spaces, the large variety of monofilament diameters and the different thermoplastics available.

The structures for coalescing have the following features:

• Can be packed in cartridges
• Can be washed with high pressure water and detergent, and are re-usable
• High efficiency in oils and fat removal, with effluent of up to 10ppm
• Structures designed with tridimensional monofilaments, intercrossed, of different diameters, obtaining a coalescing media of high resistance to clogging and with high mechanical stability.
• Excellent performance in oil-water separation and also in aqueous-organic mixes.
• Long lasting service life
• Low maintenance

The types of coalescing media most frequently used are in the range of 8 to 37 mils (0.2 to 0.9mm) and 94% to 97% free space. A pack with different coalescing media may be used, or different stages, attaining high rates of efficiency and separation.
