A few things you must know about the filter element of the oil-water separator

The filter element of the oil-water separator can be used to remove floating oil, dispersed oil and mechanically emulsified oil in the sewage. The oil content in the sewage is not high, and the treated water can meet the discharge and reuse standards, especially when the oil concentration is several thousand mg/L. The effect of the above oily wastewater treatment is more prominent. The oil dispersed in sewage in the form of oil particles in water is called dispersed oil. The appearance is milky white. It is produced in oil tank ballast water, cabin water, compressor drainage, mechanical factory countertop wastewater, etc. Even more effective after treatment.filter-635

The working principle of the ship oil-water separator filter element: affinity-coagulation-adsorption-floating


Affinity: The oil droplets on the inner surface are affinity together, and directly float up and separate under the action of specific gravity.


Coagulation: Suspended small oil particles coalesce into large oil droplets under the action of lipophilic filter material.


Adsorption: Large oil droplets are continuously captured by the adsorption layer designed on the outer layer of the filter element to prevent secondary carryover.


Floating: Under the action of the same-sex mutual affinity of the liquid, the oil with increased specific gravity floats up quickly to realize liquid-liquid separation.


Oil-water separator filter element structure:


The type of filter element is inside and outside, which is composed of demulsification layer, coalescing layer and adsorption affinity layer.


Application fields:


The filter element is often used in petroleum exploration, petroleum refining, petrochemical industry, oil product storage and transportation, oil tanker accident, ship shipping, vehicle cleaning, machinery manufacturing, food processing and other industries.
