Steel
Oil/Water Separators
Pan America Environmental API Series, steel oil/water separators are a gravity
differential separation design for removal of free and finely dispersed oil droplets
from oily wastestreams. The design follows the American Petroleum Institutes (API)
Manual on Disposal of Refinery Wastes for design of oil water separators. API perfor-
mance: 100mg/L, 150 micron free, dispersed and non-emulsified oil droplets. The API
steel design is just one of 8 different oil/water separator designs from Pan America
Environmental that can be used singularly or in combination with other treatment
processes such as emulsion cracking, DAF & clarifier pretreatment.
Full, turnkey systems can be provided with many types of options and custom
configurations can be provided tailored to the particular project requirements or
wastestream needs. Eleven separator sizes are offered for flow rates up to 600 GPM.
The API can be installed above, flush with or below grade. Conversion to a DAF can
also be accomplished for flotation where needed.
