What Suparator® is.
A simple, passive, construction! No controls, no instruments, no moving parts. Just making the laws of physics work for you. That's all, but it means everything in the separation of oil from water.
The Suparator® principle is a patented solution for the removal of floating substances, like oil, from water or other aqueous media. Initially developed for oil spill recovery applications, the principle has shown to be incomparably effective in the removal of any amount of floating matter.
Read how effective Suparator® proved to be in this report (section 4.4 Application performance) from the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) from the University of Massachusetts.
..... the ability of the Suparator® to rapidly recover large volumes of oil from the oil-contaminated aqueous cleaning solution without adversely affecting the composition of the recycled aqueous cleaning solution (i.e., depleting the solution of surfactant) is critical......Looking a little bit closer.
Different from any other oil separation technology, Suparator® actively accumulates, concentrates and actually removes oil from the process. The advantages that come with it are impressive as you can see from the list below.
If you are interested to see how it works, go here for an explanation and video's.
- Removes oil without water.
- Removes any amount of oil.
- Eliminates floating layer problems.
- Inhibits formation of rag layers and separator blow-through.
- Automatically responds to fluctuations in oil loading.
- Requires no (electric) controls at all.
- Simple and reliable systems.
