Do anyone have any good methods for separating oil from water?
Thread Content
Hello everyone, I work in the atmospheric and vacuum distillation unit. The three dehydration units I installed do not perform well in terms of sedimentation within the reflux tank, which results in oil being carried over in the dehydrated product (this is not due to instrument failure), and the environmental standards are not met. My friends, there doesn’t seem to be any good way to recover this oil, nor are there any devices that can be used to separate the naphtha from the water. Thank you all.
Slightly increase the temperature of the oil and raise the liquid level to prolong the settling time.
Thank you; the temperature and liquid level of the return tank are basically limited. I currently want to use equipment to achieve my goal, but I’m not sure what suitable equipment would work.
Our company has oil-water separators, which are effective and have been used in practice.
What is the volume of the sedimentation tank, and what is the effective sedimentation time?
The simplest solution is to change the tank, thereby increasing the settling time. At the same time, consider working with a slow-release agent manufacturer to add some demulsifying components.
