CS415 Doc No. Three Fram oil-water separators were installed at a marine operations company to recover oil from wastes of its wet crude oil treatment operation. The separator consists of a series of vertical and horizontal corrugated plates.
Oil droplets coalesce and rise to the underside of the polypropylene plates.
The oil passes through weep holes to the upper surface where it is collected by a skimmer. The filter can handle a solid content of wastewater up to 1000 ppm.
