It is crucial for an oil port’s environment that any oil spill is removed from the water efficiently. Both storm water and oil leakages may cause a serious wastewater problem because it contains a lot of hydrocarbons if not treated properly.
Oil ports use Surfcleaner’s SCO 8000 oil-water surface separators for continuous operation in API separators and stormwater basins. The system automatically collects, separates, and discharges hydrocarbons from water without manual supervision. The SCO 1000 is a mobile unit for oil spill clean-up that can be easily transported wherever it’s needed and remotely controlled.
CUSTOMER REFERENCE
“Surfcleaner collects and separates oil layers from 0.1 μm and upwards, continuously keeping the water surface completely free from oil and bacterial growth. This does not give the organisms time to start growing and the problem of dead bacteria suspended in the water does not arise.
Continuous separation increases the capacity of the gravimetric separation process and avoids the risk of bacterial growth. Previously, when a large volume of oily water was released, the bandskimmer we had was not able to handle it, nor could it meet the stipulated cleaning requirements. Another factor is that when the amount of water in the oil is reduced using Surfcleaner, our cost for the disposal of the oil is lower.”
