The present invention relates to separation of fluids. Apparatus has a cylindrical vessel with a stronger unit with better structural integrity. Changed the vital operations of the unit, specifically the recirculation rate of the system, lowering the overall discharge flow and increasing the discharge pressure, part and parcel with this change is the addition of multiple Eductors in each cell providing greater gasification per cell. The combination of these changes provides a greater overall efficiency thus the overboard water quality is improved using a smaller vessel to accomplish the objective. As important, is the placement of the Eductor in the vessel creating a rolling effect to move separated oil to a spillover point for collection. Thus the collection point is improved by eliminating costly mechanical wipers and using multiple adjustable spillover weirs in each cell to recover the collected oil contaminant during the process and will help preclude upset and or surge conditions from affecting the water quality at the effluent. The above features are a marked advancement, when taken in combination, to current induced gas flotation technology. |
