CORRUGATED PLATE INTERCEPTOR

CPI

2E803 - Version 001 - Date 05.04.2012

Each CPI oil/water separator is equipped with a Cross Flow type corrugated plate
assembly. The CPI unit has one sludge cone underneath the separator chamber for
collecting settled material, separated between the corrugated plates.
The treatment of oil refining and petrochemical effluents can be applied over a wide flow
range, from 5 m³/h to 420 m³/h for one CPI unit.

Separator chamber and plate packs

The material of the plates is GRP with orthophtalic or isophtalic resin. GRP with both
resins can withstand liquid temperatures of up to 70ºC.

Cross Flow plate assemblies are designed to separate oil and solids from a liquid
simultaneously.

The separated oil flows into the skimmed oil through via a straight plate weir with a fixed
height setting. Through a nozzle the oil leaves the CPI unit.

Sludge cone
For collecting solids separated in the plate packs, the CPI unit will have one conical
sludge chamber. Two cone walls have an angle of 60º to the horizontal in order to
facilitate flowing/sliding of sludge to the draw off points. The cone will have a sludge draw
off nozzle fitted with a hand operated sludge draw off valve. Moreover it will have a water
flush nozzle with a hand operated butterfly isolation valve for fluidizing compacted
sludge.

Effluent chamber
Treated water flows from the separator chamber into the integral treated water outlet
chamber by means of four pipes. The vertical part of these pipes is topped by a circular,
adjustable overflow weir. By rotating a weir clock- or counter clock wise, it can be lowered
or raised. The setting of these weirs determines the water level in the CPI unit and so the
thickness of the separated floating oil layer.
