Oily Water Separator Design Calculations

This document contains calculations for the design of an oily water separator. It includes calculations of: 1) The minimum horizontal area and vertical cross-sectional area required based on the flow rate and properties of the waste water. 2) The minimum calculated length and width of the separator based on the rise velocity of oil particles. 3) The number of channels, depth, width, and overdesigned length of the separator based on the horizontal flow velocity and minimum horizontal area. 4) The required time for rise of globules and minimum retention time based on the calculated rising time and volume of the separator.
