Oil Separators: Key to Wastewater Treatment

For more than twenty years, Hunter Alliance has been instrumental in providing equipment for the treatment of industrial waste water, in Australia. Two of the products the company offers are their standard coalescing plate oil separators and their vertical gravity oil separators.

Due to its reliability and effectiveness, Hunter Alliance's standard coalescing plate oil separator is the standard in the industry when it comes to pre-treating general industrial waste water, before release into the sewer systems. Coalescing plate oil separators are used to encourage the coalescence of the droplets of oil in the water, in order to improve the rate of hydrostatic elevation. Once these oil droplets have risen to the surface, they can be collected and removed. Hunter Alliance has a diverse range of stainless steel oil separators that use polypropylene coalescing plate pack, with both 6mm and 10 mm spacing. Their standard sizes are: 700, 1,500 and 3,000 litres per hour and control panels and pumps can be customised to meet their clients unique specifications.

Vertical gravity oil separators are multi-plate, cylindrical oil separators that utilize gravity to separate as the mechanism for separating oil from the waste water. As the heavier water sinks to the bottom, the plates encourage coalescence of the oil droplets where they rise to the surface, for collection and disposal. Hunter Alliance offers vertical gravity oil separators with high quality polypropylene conical plate packs in a variety of configurations. These range in size from 50mm to 1200mm and greater. Maximizing performance and minimizing space requirements, units are available in a variety of sizes including: 700, 1500 and 3000 litre per hour capacities.
