This is one of our 10,000l waste water tank storage, and when this tank goes to site, it will become an important cog in a much larger system…
The aim of the system is water treatment, to separate oils from water. This clever system developed by our client separates the oil/fat in the water based on the density difference – the oil/fat droplets being lighter than the water. How this works is oily wastewater is pumped into a separator which forms a powerful vortex. The force created, squeezes the lighter oil/fat droplets into the center of the vortex and two streams are generated: treated water ready for discharge or reuse, and the separated oil for storage and disposal.
The role this tank plays in the system is as a decant tank, it collects the concentrated oil within the oily water waste and removes any excess water. It does this through a decant process, the oily waster enters via a top-level inlet, then due to the lighter density of the oil over the water, it emulsifies, floating to the top creating a layer of oil. While the water settles down at the bottom. Internal piping automatically drains the now separated clean water out of the tank and the collected oil is removed via an outlet fitted at the base of the tank.
Just like this tank, our fabrication team had a specific role in the production process. A specific role that was part of a larger working system for our client. They worked seamlessly with our client’s engineering team, fitting out the tank to their precise requirements. Ensuring the tank would play its role in our client’s system effectively and seamlessly.
