Overview
Wemco® Pacesetter® Gravity
Separators use an innovative plate design to remove oil and suspended solids
from process streams more effectively and economically than any other gravity
separator. It is distinguished from conventional cross-flow separators by its
integrated, lattice-type pack structure, which provides excellent strength and
rigidity. Influent oil concentrations as high as 300,000 PPM can be reduced to
as little as 15 PPM with most suspended solids removed.
Performance
Designed for 100% removal of all oil droplets from 40 to 60 microns and
larger.
Product Range
- Individual units for flow rates of 1,000 BPD to 100,000 BPD (159 m3/day to 15,900 m3/day)
- Influent oil concentrations as high as 300,000 PPM can be reduced to as little as 15 PPM with most suspended solids removed
- Atmospheric and pressure vessel designs, for both production and refining /
petrochemical applications
Benefits & Advantages
Exclusive, patented separation and coalescing modules are more economical and more compact; but most
importantly, they separate more efficiently. The Pacesetter offers the following
advantages:
- Highest separation efficiency per given tank volume
- Recovered oil that is virtually water-free
- No energy required for separation. Typically, inlet hydraulic head only needs
to be six inches more than operating level
- High capacity, with liquid detention time normally less than 10 minutes, thus
permitting flow-through of high volumes of liquids
- No negative effect from high or fluctuating concentrations of oil or solids in
the feed
- Low empty weight, small size, and skid mounting make it easy to move the system
to different locations
- No moving parts keeps operating costs low
