Membrane Based Oil Water Separators

Paramount Ltd offers Gravity Membrane Based Oil Water Separators. The high water flux leads to high filtration capacities per membrane element. Silicon Carbide membranes are thermally resistant up to 800 deg. C. Silicon Carbide membranes are chemically resistant to the pH range, pH 0-14. These membranes can handle high oil concentration and fluctuations in the feed and can also remove both free oil and emulsified oil in one step. The system is a cross flow filtration system, where the feed stream is introduced under pressure by the feed pump and flows through the channels of the membrane. The feed fluid is separated into two product streams, permeate, and concentrate. The permeate passing through the membrane flows into the porous structure of the element while particles and oil are retained on the channel surface. Circulation pump provided to generate the cross flow inside the channels of membrane element. The feed and cross flow are tangential to the surface of the membrane.
