Oil / water emulsion separator
Magnus Equipment / Power Sonics
THEORY OF OPERATION
The coalescer is designed to use the natural gravity difference between oil and water as well as the oil-philliac (oil attracting ) properties of the coalescing elements to separate the oil. The oil laden solution is introduced into a still chamber with the coalescing element. The chamber is sized to provide adequate residence time for oil separation. The coalescing element provides a baffling effect to maintain a still volume and provides the oil-philliac surface for very small droplets of oil to collect on and coalesce into larger droplets. The larger droplets have adequate buoyancy to float to the top of the chamber. Once on the surface of the chamber, the oil is removed by an overflow weir.
By keeping cleaning baths from excessive soil overload it will extend the bath life, the chemical additives are reduces and the overall bath life is extended, resulting in fewer bath dumps and improved cleaning effectiveness. The cleaner bath provides consistently cleaner work loads by removing major contaminations.
