The oil water separator is a special purpose prefabricated parallel corrugated plate, rectangular, gravity displacement, type oil water separator. The separator shall be comprised of a tank containing an inlet compartment, separation chamber, sludge chamber, and clean water outlet chamber.

Hydro Quip’s design meets and exceeds API 421, which is based on Stokes Law. However, API does NOT address the importance of a Reynolds Number. Since Stokes Law is based on zero velocity, a low Reynolds Number is required to achieve the rise times of the oil for better separation. We use the flow...

The separation chamber will contain parallel corrugated plates for enhanced oil/water separation. The plates will be spaced for optimum removal of free oil and settleable solids, and the corrugations will have a 45 to 60 degree angle with respect to the horizontal. Flow through the plate pack will...

The separator shall be a special purpose prefabricated parallel corrugated plate gravity displacement type oil water separator designed to remove free and dispersed non-emulsified oil and settlable solids, in accordance with API 421.

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a mechanical process using ultra fine air bubbles to separate somewhat neutral or positively buoyant contaminants from water. These contaminants form nuclei on which microscopic air bubbles coalesce. The air bubbles add buoyancy to the contaminants, causing them to...

The objective in separation of wastewater containing emulsified oils is to destabilize the emulsion so that the oil will separate by gravity. Mechanical and chemical emulsions can be destabilized by chemical treatment and coalescing.

The Hydro Quip Continuous Flow Chemical/Physical Inclined Plate Clarifiers are designed to separate mechanical and chemical emulsions and colloidal contaminants from the wastewater. The use of polymers or other chemical assistant will help precipitate the contaminants to the hopper compartment for...

The Hydro Quip Inclined Plate Separators are designed and manufactured to provide for the precipitation and removal of suspended material in water. The Inclined Plate Separator employs the use of a series of plates inclined at an angle of 55°. This specialized design allows the Inclined Plate...
