  2. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oilwater_separator

    An API oilwater 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.

  3. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilwater_separator

    Centrifuge oily water separator. A centrifugal wateroil separator, centrifugal oilwater separator or centrifugal liquid–liquid separator is a device designed to separate oil and water by centrifugation. It generally contains a cylindrical container that rotates inside a larger stationary container.

  5. Centrifugal water–oil separator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_wateroil...

    In a centrifugal oil and water separator, the force of gravity is one-thousand [citation needed] times greater that of the coalescing plate pack separator or the petrol interceptor, so the separation is much greater. Not only is the force of separation greater, but there are fewer working parts so maintenance is much easier and cheaper.

  6. Aqueous two-phase system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueous_two-phase_system

    It is a common observation that when oil and water are poured into the same container, they separate into two phases or layers, because they are immiscible.In general, aqueous (or water-based) solutions, being polar, are immiscible with non-polar organic solvents (cooking oil, chloroform, toluene, hexane etc.) and form a two-phase system.

  7. Marpol Annex I - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marpol_Annex_I

    Marpol Annex I details the discharge requirements for the prevention of pollution by oil and oily materials. It continues to enforce the oil discharge criteria described in the 1969 amendments to the 1954 Oil Pollution Convention. [4] It also introduces the idea of "special areas" which are considered to be at risk to oil pollution. Discharge ...

  8. Conical plate centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_Plate_Centrifuge

    The separator for this process needs a design that can withstand abrasion caused by kaolin. Additionally, this centrifuge is also used to remove water, impurities and other metal particles from oils and lubricants used for dynamic processes, such as motors, compressors and hydraulics. This treatment is reliable in extending the service life of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oily_water_separator_(marine)

    A centrifugal water-oil separator, centrifugal oil-water separator or centrifugal liquid-liquid separator is a device designed to separate oil and water by centrifugation. It generally contains a cylindrical container that rotates inside a larger stationary container.
