Oily Water Separator Method of Operation PDF

An oily water separator uses a pump, separating media, and valves to separate oil from bilge water in three steps. Oily bilge water enters and separates as it flows upward through plates, with oil droplets coalescing until large enough to detach. Separated oil accumulates until a sensor initiates a cleaning cycle, stopping the pump and allowing clean water to flow upward and wash the plates, displacing the oil.

Oily bilge water is drawn into the separator by the Probe
