2. Oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil–water_separator

   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; Water viscosity (temperature) Discharge water quality desired; Feed oil concentration and the range of oil concentrations likely

3. API oil–water separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API_oil–water_separator

   The API separator is a gravity separation device designed using Stokes' law principles that define the rise velocity of oil droplets based on their density, size and water properties. The design of the separator is based on the specific gravity difference between the oil and the wastewater because that difference is much smaller than the ...

4. Centrifugal water–oil separator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_water–oil...

   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.

5. Industrial wastewater treatment - Wikipedia

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

   An API oil-water separator, for removing separate phase oil from wastewater. [43]: 180 A clarifier, for removing solids from wastewater. [44]: 41–15 A roughing filter, to reduce the biochemical oxygen demand of wastewater. [44]: 23–11 A carbon filtration plant, to remove toxic dissolved organic compounds from wastewater. [43]: 210

6. Separator (oil production) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separator_(oil_production)

   Oil and gas separators can have three general configurations: vertical, horizontal, and spherical.Vertical separators can vary in size from 10 or 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet seam to seam (S to S) up to 10 or 12 feet in diameter and 15 to 25 feet S to S. Horizontal separators may vary in size from 10 or 12 inches in diameter and 4 to 5 feet S to S up to 15 to 16 feet in diameter and ...

7. Separation process - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_process

   Oil-water separation, gravimetrically separates suspended oil droplets from waste water in oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and similar industries; Precipitation; Recrystallization; Scrubbing, separation of particulates (solids) or gases from a gas stream using liquid.

8. Oil production plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_production_plant

   Produced water, the densest phase, settles out at the bottom of the separator, oil floats on the top of the produced water phase, and gas occupies the upper part of the separator. [8] The separator is sized to provide a liquid residence time of 3 to 5 minutes which is sufficient for light crude oil (>35° API) as produced in the North Sea.

9. Filter press - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_press

   Industrial Filter press. An industrial filter press is a tool used in separation processes, specifically to separate solids and liquids.The machine stacks many filter elements and allows the filter to be easily opened to remove the filtered solids, and allows easy cleaning or replacement of the filter media.
