Atmospheric Oily Water Separator
Technical Description
KD International provides Atmospheric Oily Water Separators, designed for efficient removal of hydrocarbons and solids from oil and gas wastewater. Each Atmospheric Oily Water Separator is skid-mounted, fully assembled, and ready for deployment, ensuring cost-effective water treatment before reuse, injection, or discharge.
The KD Atmospheric Oily Water Separator, also known as the Skimmertank, utilizes gravity separation technology enhanced by coalescing plate pack internals. The separation process is based on Stokes’ Law, which governs the rise velocity of oil droplets based on their size, density, and viscosity of the water phase. Smaller droplets rise slower, making separation difficult, but within the separator, coalescence occurs—where small oil droplets collide and merge into larger droplets. This enhances separation efficiency, as larger droplets rise more rapidly to the surface, where they are effectively removed.
By incorporating KD’s advanced separator design, the system achieves high-efficiency hydrocarbon separation, ensuring environmental compliance and reliable wastewater management.
