Abstract:

Unique concepts for separating oil from water discharged from ships were evaluated and reported. The report is a brief summary of the work accomplished, results obtained, and conclusions reached after a careful evaluation of the final reports. For comparison purposes test results on typical cartridge coalescers are included. The eight systems evaluated are 1 Tubular membrane separator 2 Centrifugal coalescer separator 3 Laminar flow coalescing plate separator 4 Ultrafiltration separator 5 Electrochemical flotation separator 6 Vacuum desorption air flotation separation 7 Viscosity separation 8 Vortex separation.
