Oil–Water Separation using Synthetic Trees

Langmuir, 2023
Existing oil-water filtration techniques require gravity or a pump as the driving force for separation. Here, we demonstrate transpiration-powered oil-water filtration using a synthetic tree, which operates pumplessly and against gravity. From top to bottom, our synthetic tree was composed of: a nanoporous "leaf" to generate suction via evaporation, a ...

Oil Water Separation

2006
Oil and grease (O&G) is a common pollutant frequently found in the effluent of a wide range of industries. Oil and grease concentrations in wastewater, as recommended by the US Environmental Protection Agency, are not determine as the presence of specific compounds but are measured by their extractability using a particular solvent.

Downhole Oil/Water Separator Development

Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology, 1994
Abstract A feasibility study and subsequent equipment prototype design work completed by the Centre for Frontier Engineering Research have led to the development of some novel downhole oil/water separator systems for improving the economics and recovery of oil from conventional and heavy oil reservoirs.

Mesofluidic Oil-Water Separation

Volume 8: Fluids Engineering
Abstract A key problem in industrial environments is the separation of oil-water mixtures. Although phase separation can be relatively fast on small scales or when density differences are large, phase separation becomes increasingly challenging at large scales and when the densities of the involved phases’ densities differ only ...

HIGH CAPACITY OIL– WATER SEPARATOR

Naval Engineers Journal, 1977
A large portion of the Navy Pollution Abatement Program has been on oily waters. Thus far, significant efforts have been devoted to quantify, reduce, and control discharges of contaminated bilge, ballast, and tank washing wastes from ships and oily waste generated at shore facilities. Reference (1) describes these efforts in detail.

New advanced solids/oil/water separator

Environmental Progress, 1994
AbstractACS Industries, Inc. recently commercialized proprietary advanced oil/water separation technology which separates heavy oils (up to 50,000 centistokes). The separation efficiency of ACS' unit is exceptional (down to less than 2 mg/l oil in water in field trials).

Oil/water separation: Suparator meets the oil/water challenge

Filtration + Separation, 2013
While oil floats on water, achieving good separation and a high quality water stream is difficult. Louis van Schie explains how the Suparator oil separator is designed to carry out this exacting process.

pH-responsive bidirectional oil–water separation material

Chemical Communications, 2013
A superhydrophobic copper mesh film (CMF) with pH-responsive property was synthesized via an electrochemical deposition strategy, followed by Au sputter-coating process and surface modification with a thiol mixture of HS(CH2)9CH3 and HS(CH2)10COOH. As-prepared CMF can be applied to separate an oil-and-water mixture bidirectionally.

Enhanced Oil-Water Separation-The Performax Coalescer

Proceedings of SPE Production Operations Symposium, 1983
ABSTRACT The Freewater Knockout (FWKO) has been the basic oil field standard in oil-water separation for many years; The PerformaxR Matrix Plate Coalescer is an improved enhanced oil-water separator which satisfies the oil producers' desire for a simple, efficient separator. Sizing and case history information is reviewed.
