2. Oil skimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_skimmer

   An oil skimmer is a device that is designed to remove oil floating on a liquid surface. They are commonly used to recover oil from oil spills in water, or in Industrial situations where waters are contaminated with oil. Oil skimmers are designed to remove free floating oil and are not water treatment devices.

3. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oil–water_separator

   A typical gravimetric API separator. An API oil–water separator is a device designed to separate gross amounts of oil and suspended solids from industrial wastewater produced at oil refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and other industrial oily water sources.

4. Boom (containment) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boom_(containment)

   A containment boom is a temporary floating barrier used to contain an oil spill. Booms are used to reduce the possibility of polluting shorelines and other resources, and to help make recovery easier. Booms help to concentrate oil in thicker surface layers so that skimmers, vacuums, or other collection methods can be used more effectively. They ...

5. Groundwater remediation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_remediation

   Belt oil skimmers, which are simple in design, are commonly used to remove oil and other floating hydrocarbon contaminants from industrial water systems. [ citation needed ] A monitoring-well oil skimmer remediates various oils, ranging from light fuel oils such as petrol, light diesel or kerosene to heavy products such as No. 6 oil, creosote ...

6. Induced gas flotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_gas_flotation

   Induced gas flotation is very widely used in treating the industrial wastewater effluents from oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and similar industrial facilities. A very similar process known as dissolved air flotation is also used for waste water treatment.

7. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil–water_separator

   Oil water separators can be designed to treat a variety of contaminants in water including free floating oil, emulsified oil, dissolved oil and suspended solids. Not all oil separator types are capable of separating all contaminants. The most common performance parameters considered are: Oil droplet size (in the feed to the separator) Oil density
