Process
Napier Reids API oil-water separators (OWS) are used to pre-treat and remove free oil from wastewater. The OWS are designed as per API design recommendations (API-421). Napier Reid designs and manufactures standard gravity oil-water separator as well as enhanced gravity oil-water separator.
Oil/Water Mixture Separated Oil Clear Water
In gravity oil-water separator, the oilwater mixture enters the OWS and is retained for sufficient time. Due to the difference in the specific gravity of oilgrease and water, the separation takes place. The rise rate of oil droplets in the water can be calculated by using Stokes Law.

In enhanced gravity OWS, the oilwater mixture enters the separator and is evenly distributed over the high efficiency specially designed coalescing media. The oil-water mixture flows down and enters the coalescing media. Oil from the mixture impinges on the oleophilic media surface. The oil accumulates on the media and coalesces to form larger oil droplets. The larger oil droplets exert greater buoyancy force than small oil droplets, and rise faster inside the coalescing media. When these oil droplets reach the top of the media, they detach and rise to the waters surface. The solids that come in contact with the surface media slide down the media and are collected in the hopper beneath.

Stokes Law equation for rise rate V = where V = velocity of rise of oil droplets (cm/sec) g = gravitational constant (981 cm/sec2) dW = density of water (gm/cc) dO = density of oil (gm/cc) D = diameter of oil particle (cm) = viscosity of water, poise g (dW dO)D2 18

Advantages of Napier Reids
API Oil-Water Separator
Process:
Removes up to 99.9% of oil droplets 20 microns and larger Effluent quality of less than 15 mg/l free, non-emulsified oil possible. Designed as per API-421 and to speed the gravity separation process according to Stokes Law. Models available for flow up to 5000 gpm.
Design & Equipment:
Compact design. NRs API oil-water separator can be custom designed to suit your application and fit into the existing space. No moving parts inside the separator. Easy to clean. Efficient wastewater distribution to assure full usage of the cross section of the media. Equipment designed to prevent short circuiting of wastewater around, over or under the media. Design allow solids to settle and to be retained in the separator until discharged at regular intervals. Optional oil storage chamber can be provided if required. Optional cover can be provided, if required for odour control. Specially designed coalescing media has high surface area. Coalescing media has excellent oleophilic properties. The media with smooth vertical surface and high void volume, has excellent antiplugging and self cleaning properties. The tank can be offered in different material of construction stainless steel or carbon steel with epoxy coating. Degree of automation can be provided as required from completely automatic to completely manual.
Space and O&M Cost:
Compact design, requires smaller footprint and space. Almost zero operation and maintenance cost. No power consumption. No chemical cleaning of the media required. The media can be cleaned by just high pressure water jet.
Designing and manufacturing heat exchangers since 1956. Let our knowledge and experience help you save time and money.
