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

   Typically, the oil layer is skimmed off and subsequently re-processed or disposed of, and the bottom sediment layer is removed by a chain and flight scraper (or similar device) and a sludge pump. The water layer is sent to further treatment for additional removal of any residual oil and then to some type of biological treatment unit for removal ...

4. Industrial wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_wastewater...

   Each separator technology will have its own performance curve outlining optimum performance based on oil droplet size. the most common separators are gravity tanks or pits, API oil-water separators or plate packs, chemical treatment via dissolved air flotations, centrifuges, media filters and hydrocyclones.

5. Dissolved air flotation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissolved_air_flotation

   Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids. The removal is achieved by dissolving air in the water or wastewater under pressure and then releasing the air at atmospheric pressure in a flotation tank basin. The released air forms ...

7. Oil dispersant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_dispersant

   Oil dispersant mechanism of action. An oil dispersant is a mixture of emulsifiers and solvents that helps break oil into small droplets following an oil spill.Small droplets are easier to disperse throughout a water volume, and small droplets may be more readily biodegraded by microbes in the water.

9. 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 ...
