The gravity settling devices previously discussed make use of closely spaced internals to reduce the distance an oil droplet must rise to meet a coalescing surface. This is because within a tank or vessel there is very little turbulence to promote coalescence. The SP Pack, developed by Paragon Engineering Services and marketed by Modular Production […]

Plate coalescers are skim tanks or vessels that use internal plates to improve the gravity separation process. Various configurations of plate coalescers have been devised. These are commonly called parallel plate interceptors (PPI), corrugated plate interceptors (CPI), or cross-flow separators. All of these depend on gravity separation to allow the oil droplets to rise to […]
