Complete Oil/Water Separation
The Abanaki Oil Concentrator provides virtually complete oil/water
separation for recycling or disposal of either liquid.
Under most operating conditions,
Abanaki skimmers pick up oil with only small traces of water.
However, as surface oil is reduced to a thin layer (1/16 inch
thick or less), more water (or coolant) may be picked up along
with the oil. When used in tandem with an oil skimmer, the Oil
Concentrator solves this problem by providing final phase separation.
The result is water (or coolant) available for recycling, and
virtually water-free oil for disposal.
The Oil Concentrator is non-electrical
and contains no moving parts — it simply receives liquid
directly from the skimmer. Based on the principle of gravity separation,
the Oil Concentrator tank comes in three sizes so that there is
adequate dwell time for the oil and water to separate. Water discharge
is through a tube that has an open end near the bottom of the
Concentrator, while oil flow is through a separate drain port
near the top. As additional liquid enters the Concentrator, water
and oil are forced out through their respective disposal tubes.
Installed at the discharge end
of the oil skimmer, the Concentrator comes complete with mounting
bracket, removable sludge screen and drain plug for easy cleaning.
An optional thermostatically controlled heater is available for
use with thick oils, or when the application is in freezing temperatures.
(A heater should not be used in environments where explosive fumes
might be present.)
Abanaki recommends the use of the
Concentrator with all oil skimmers. It increases the efficiency
of the skimmer and reduces costs associated with oil disposal.
