How The HE/S1 Works
As oily water enters
the HE/S1 it is slowed down to allow for solids to fall to
the bottom of the Solids Settling tank, and for oil/water separation
to begin. By gravity the oily water flows through 76,896 square
inches of oil coalescing plates. These plates allow for the
oil to gather together into larger droplets, where they can
float to the surface and then be mechanicaly skimmed from
the water. Free oil is reduced to less than 50 PPM. Water
then flows to the final stage where it can be directed for
reuse or sewer discharge. The oily water holding tanks are
designed for self-cleaning. Any solids that drop to the bottom
of the tanks are purged to a cleanout station eliminating
the requirement to manually remove solids. |
