Key Benefits
Coalescing plate oil-water separators are essential in petroleum refineries for effectively separating oil from wastewater. This efficient separation process ensures that the treated water meets the stringent standards required for industrial operations, helping refineries manage the large volumes of oily wastewater they produce.
These separators also support compliance with environmental regulations by ensuring that discharged water contains oil levels within permissible limits. Coalescing plate separators are a crucial tool for sustainable and efficient refinery operations involving site stormwater.
Relevant Applications
Petroleum Depots: Petroleum depots handle large volumes of oil products, and leaks or spills are possible. Rainwater or other runoff at these sites can pick up oil, requiring treatment before the water can be safely discharged. Coalescing plate separators are effective in removing oil from the water, preventing environmental contamination.
Oil and Gas Stormwater Treatment: In oil and gas operations, stormwater runoff can become contaminated with oil, especially in areas where oil extraction, processing, or storage occurs. Coalescing plate oil-water separators treat this stormwater, removing the oil so the water can be discharged according to environmental regulations.
Tank Farms: Tank farms, where large quantities of oil and petroleum products are stored, often have containment systems to manage spills and leaks. Rainwater that accumulates in these containment areas can mix with oil, necessitating treatment before it can be released. Coalescing plate separators are used to remove oil from the water in these situations.
Bund Water Treatment: Bunds are containment structures designed to capture spills or leaks from tanks or other oil-containing equipment. When water collects in bunds, it may contain oil. Coalescing plate separators treat this water, removing the oil to allow for safe discharge or reuse.
