OIL SEPARATORS
GRAVITY OIL SEPARATORS
1.OIL SEPARATION AND ACCUMULATION
AREA:stilling area in which floating
substances such as oil, grease and any foam are separated from the effluent and accumulate on the surface.
2.SEDIMENTATION CHAMBER: conical sédimentation chamber that allows the flow to slow down. so that the heavy substances (sand. gravel. pièces of rubber and métal,...) can settle more easily and be carried into the sludge accumulation section beneath.
3.HEAVY SEDIMENT ACCUMULATION AREA: stilling area in which the heavy substances settle and accumulate.
4.OUTLET PIPE: it features a pipe that picks up the effluent at approximately the middle of the tank, that is to say in the clearest area, so as to avoid the floating and sedimented material from exiting.
SPECIFICATIONS
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Static oil separator tanks are stilling tanks sized for a rétention time of at least 15 minutes at maximum discharge flow. These oil separators are defined as class II according to UNI-EN 858-1 and consist of a sédimentation zone in which the lighter liquid (volumétrie mass not exceeding 0.85 g/cm!) is separated from the inert materials: sludge, sand and lime. Each model is designed with a light liquid storage capacity. The oil separators are sized according to a defined nominal flow. i.e. the maximum treatable flow according to the project spécifications. This value is defined to allow a sufficient rétention time of the treated effluent and on the basis of performance trials carried out on water and diesel oil mixes.
