Function:
A corrugated sheet of liquid-liquid settling media is selected as a first-stage device. This device
minimizes the turbulence effects by dividing the stream into a number of separate chambers, which
provides four (4) primary benefits:
(1) decreases the effective diameter, thereby greatly reducing the Reynolds number of the flowing fluid and producing a deep laminar flow environment that enhances the gravity settling rate.
(2) isolates the fluid in separate channels, thereby putting limits on how far droplets can “wander” and reducing the negative impact of eddy currents.
(3) decreases the distance a droplet needs to rise or fall before reaching an interface, thereby greatly lowering the settling time requirement.
(4) provides multiple interfaces inside the equipment where droplets can coalesce, thereby greatly affecting the coalescing process.
Corrugated plate separator media is commonly used in oil-water separators due to its high efficiency in separating oil from water. In this application, the corrugated plates are typically made of materials that are resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, such as stainless steel or plastic.
Oil-water separators using corrugated plate separator media operate by allowing the contaminated water to flow into the separator and through the channels between the plates. The corrugations on the plates create a turbulent flow, which causes the oil droplets to coalesce and rise to the surface of the water. The oil then collects at the top of the separator and is removed for further processing or disposal.
The purified water exits at the bottom of the separator and can be discharged or reused depending on the application. Corrugated plate separator media can be customized to suit the specific needs of different oil-water separation processes, including the flow rate, the size of the separator, and the type and concentration of contaminants.
Overall, using corrugated plate separator media for oil-water separation is an efficient and cost-effective solution for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment, where the separation of oil from water is a critical process for environmental and safety reasons
