AquaSweep Oil Water Separators
AquaSweep™ Gravity Oil Water Separators are passive. This means the characteristics of the treated water are directly determined by those of the incoming oily water. The incoming water flow is directed through a series of coalescer materials, which separate the water from oil and other contaminants. The AquaSweep™ Oil Water Separator is designed to slow the force of the incoming water so it contacts the coalescer material which causes small oil particles to rise and collect into larger oil masses. These larger oil pools will separate to the surface of the water. Sludge and other matter will settle to the bottom of the tank compartment. The treated water exits the separator below the oil level for additional filtration and treatment or is returned to the environment. Oil and sludge within the separator are safely contained until they can be disposed of properly.
