API Separator
API Separator is an unit operation for treatment of WTP/WWTP. API or American Petroleum Institute Separator is a part of preliminary wastewater treatment for Oil Separation from effluent with very high free Oil content.
Process Description :-
API separator The design of the API separator is based on the specific gravity difference between the oil to be separated and wastewater. With this design criterion, a majority of suspended solids will settle in the unit. The equipment is designed to treat oil globule size of 150microns and above. Once the suspended solids and oil are removed from the wastewater in the API separator, the middle phase, water, is then directed on for further treatment.
Target Impurities :-
- Free Oil & floating Oil
Advantages :-
- Ability to process wastewater with high Oil concentration up to 10,000 PPM & high TSS concentrations, up to 20,000 PPM.
- Non-metallic collector component resist corrosion and are easy to install.
- Concentrated oil removal.
