b'How it WorksAquaSweep gravity oil water separators are designed for gravity-induced separation of oil from water. This system is passive.The separator is designed for gravity removal of non-emulsied hydrocarbons, i.e. motor oils, lightweight oils, and related petroleum products with a specic gravity of less than 1.0. Oily wastewater enters the AquaSweep separator, where the ow and turbulence of incoming water is reduced. Fluid then ows through various pre-selected coalescing materials to accelerate the separation process. The buoyant properties of the hydrocarbons cause oil droplets to rise and combine into larger oil globules while passing through the coalescing media. The globules rise to the surface and oat on top of the water, while sludge and other matter settle and accumulate at the bottom of the tank compartment. The treated wastewater System Components then exits the separator and enters the The AquaSweep Oil Water Separator consists of the following sanitary sewer system. Accumulation of primary components: oil and sludge within the separator is contained until it can be removed andTank shell: The shell of the unit is made using double-wall steel disposed of properly. An optional oil-stop with access hatchways and associated piping in accordance withvalve can be used to ensure that no oil leaves the separator if the AquaSweep the Steel Tank Institute ACT-100-U. separator oil storage capacity has been exceeded. Coalescing media pack: Engineered coalescing media designed to accelerate oil separation. Control system: Consists of NEMA 4X intrinsic-safe panel with high oil and leak detection sensors. Oil Stop Valve: For positive efuent control of pollutants.Design ConsiderationsTanks shall be manufactured in accordance with Steel Tank Institute ACT-100-U, Specication for External Corrosion Protection of Composite Steel Underground Storage Tanks.
