Oil-water separation problem

2019-09-18View Original

Thread Content

Guys, what is the impact of the pressure at the top of the gravity separation tank on oil-water separation? During the experiment, it was found that oil has difficulty floating to the surface when the pressure is high. What is the reason?

Oil is lighter than water; with high pressure, the oil can’t rise!

An increase in oil-water displacement (especially the thickness of the oil layer) increases the resistance to the upward movement of oil; For the same type of oil, the buoyancy is constant

Check for any emulsification
