To determine if stormwater runoff or service areas dictate sizing requirements, continue with the surface area calculators below to help determine OWS sizing. The initial step for computing a design flow is to define the areas where contaminated flow will originate.

TENANCE SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Containment Solutions manufactures Oil/Water. Separator (OWS) tanks with internal coalescing plates. These units are available in single . r double-wall model tanks constructed to UL standards. The OWS can handle a variety of flow rates and achi. ve e.

We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

The typical core criteria required for sizing a separator are: oil specific gravity, droplet size, oil viscosity, water temperature and wastestream flow rate. In ows design the API421 guide is used to determine mathematical formulas to ascertain tank size, coalescing media volume and other particular design elements.

The calculation first solves for total Horizontal Surface Area, which is then translated to Media Coalescing Area to determine how many cubic feet of media are needed. Cross section velocity is also determined to ensure the maximum velocity of 3 fpm is not exceeded.

Figuring out the right size for an OWS system is key for good stormwater management. It also helps meet environmental rules. Getting it wrong can cause problems, fines, and higher costs. We’ll dive into the details of oil/water separator sizing. We’ll look at flow rates, types of liquids, and rules that matter.

This document can help qualified personnel effectively isolate a Metasys problem to a specific feature or hardware item. The troubleshooting charts list possible causes for symptoms exhibited at an Operator Workstation (OWS) or Personal Computer (PC). The charts are grouped by symptom categories: offline unreliable inaccurate readings

Oil/Water Interface Level Chart Important: If the oil/water interface is below the following levels, the waste oil should be pumped out of the OWS tank. The oil/water interface is defined as the point where the oil is detected above the water.

Owner should retain this manual for reference to operating and maintenance guidelines. This Oil/Water Separator (OWS) Operating and Maintenance Manual gives instructions for single-wall and double-wall OWS applications.

Jul 10, 2017 · Our media is capable of removing essentially all free and dispersed non-emulsified oils to an effluent concentration of less than 5 ppm. We now size our separators based mostly on oil viscosity and flow rate so they can be much smaller than they were in the past.
