Oil or Water Decanting System
The Oil or Water Decanting System is engineered to maximize waste oil recovery by efficiently separating oil from water. This unit works in conjunction with an oil skimmer to ensure the recovered oil contains the lowest possible percentage of water. By returning the separated water to the skimming area, the system optimizes the recovery process and minimizes fluid loss, contributing to both environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
In various industrial settings, such as those involving machine tool coolants, cold rolling mill coolants, or parts washing solutions, the collected oil often presents as a frothy mixture heavily contaminated with water. This decanting system provides a crucial solution for these challenges. It allows any collected water to further separate from the removed oil and be returned to the solution reservoir. This process not only helps to conserve valuable solutions but also significantly reduces the need for new solution purchases, leading to substantial cost savings.
Furthermore, if the oil skimmer operates continuously, even during periods when there's minimal oil present, the decanting system actively prevents an excessive accumulation of water in your oil collection tank. This proactive measure is vital for effectively controlling oily waste disposal costs and/or oil reclamation costs, as it minimizes the overall quantity of water or solution accumulated in waste storage containers.
The operational principle of this decanting system is based on the fundamental difference in specific gravity between oil and water. The lighter oil naturally separates and floats above the water. A specially engineered manifold incorporates an oil weir that facilitates the overflow of oil at this higher level, while the water is continuously discharged at a lower level. This intelligent design ensures continuous, unattended decanting, optimizing efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
For robust performance and ease of maintenance, a sludge tray is integrated to effectively capture any heavy solids. Cleaning is simplified by a 2-inch coupling located at the bottom of the tank, allowing a valve to be attached for convenient drainage. To further enhance the separation process, particularly with viscous fluids or in colder environments, an optional heat rod is available, configurable for either 120V or 240V operation.

Advantages and Disadvantages
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Enhanced Oil Purity: Significantly reduces the water content in recovered oil, leading to a higher quality, purer waste oil product. | Dependency on Oil Skimmer: Not a standalone oil/water separation unit; it requires an existing oil skimmer to function optimally. |
| Significant Cost Savings: Minimizes the volume of water within waste oil, directly resulting in lower disposal expenses and/or reduced oil reclamation costs. | Space Requirement: As an additional component, it necessitates extra installation space within the facility's existing setup. |
| Valuable Solution Conservation: By returning separated water to the system, it helps preserve costly process solutions like machine coolants or cleaning agents. | Initial Investment: Requires an upfront capital expenditure, although this cost can often be justified by long-term operational savings. |
| Automated & Efficient Operation: Designed for continuous and unattended decanting, which frees up labor and improves overall operational efficiency. | Specific Gravity Limitation: While highly efficient, its effectiveness is maximized when there is a clear and distinct difference in specific gravity between the oil and water. For highly stable emulsions, additional pre-treatment or chemical aids might be necessary. |
| Effective for Frothy Mixtures: Capable of efficiently processing frothy or mixed oil-and-water solutions common in various industrial applications. | Optional Heater Cost: The heat rod, which can be crucial for certain applications, is an optional add-on, incurring an additional cost if needed. |
| Prevents Water Accumulation: Actively prevents excessive water buildup in oil collection tanks, even when the skimmer operates continuously. | |
| User-Friendly Maintenance: Incorporates a sludge tray and a convenient bottom coupling for straightforward and easy cleaning. |
