Vegetable Oil Separator

An oil water separator (OWS) is a piece of equipment used to separate oil and water mixtures into their separate components. There are many different types of oil-water separator. Each has different oil separation capability and are used in different industries.An oil water separator is a piece of equipment used to treat wastewater, making it safe to discharge into an approved discharge point, such as a sewer. It removes oils, grease and hydrocarbons, leaving only the non-hazardous water.The main function of a separator is to keep the two electrodes apart to prevent electrical short circuits while also allowing the transport of ionic charge carriers that are needed to close the circuit during the passage of current in an electrochemical cell.Oil separators are used on refrigeration systems where it's difficult for the oil to return from the evaporator. These typically are field built-up systems, such as in supermarkets, and ultra-low temperature systems. Oil separators are installed in the compressor/ compressors discharge line.
