How The HE/5000 Works
The HE/5000 is designed with two complete
modules: 1. Oil water separation. 2. A polishing loop for
solids removal. As dirty water enters the HE/5000, it is slowed
down to allow for solids to fall to the bottom of the coalescing
tank and oil water separation to begin. By gravity oily water
flows through 76,896 square inches of oil coalescing plates.
These plates allow for the oil to gather together into large
droplets where they can float to the surface and be mechanicaly
skimmed form the water. Virtually oil free water then flows
to a multi media-polishing loop, which can either reduce light
and emulsified hydrocarbon, or suspended solids to < 1
micron. The polishing loop flow water at 50 GPM assuring multiple
passes through the job specific media which prepares the water
for recycling or direct to sewer discharge. Thus a polishing
filtration system! |
