Collection and Treatment of Oily Wastewater: Selection and Design of Oil/Water Separator

 

Review the five elementary categories that describe the ways in which oil can exist in water.

Project plans and specifications for an impacted industrial facility will require that the surface area on which oil spills may accidently occur should be fully paved, curbed, and drained so that all spills quickly flow to adequately sized drains without any back up of liquids. This white paper reviews why drainage must be capable of removing the oil, run-off from natural precipitation, or water resulting from the intentional hose down operations used to remove the potentially dangerous film of volatile and flammable materials remaining on the surface area.
