Use the formula below if you know the degrees API but not the
specific gravity of the product to be removed
Conversion from Degrees API to Specific Gravity: Formula: Sw
= (141.5 / (API + 131.5))
DEGREES API 35.000
SPECIFIC GRAVITY 0.8498498498

Formula:
Qm / (AH * 7.48) = (j2 * 1.072 x 10 –6) (Sw - So) / m
Qm = design flow, in ft3
AH = horizontal separator area, in ft2
j = oil droplet diameter in microns
Sw = specific gravity of the wastewater
So = specific gravity of the wastewater’s oil phase
m = wastewater’s absolute (dynamic viscosity, in poise)
