Monitoring System to find oil in water

Do you need an economical way to continuously monitor how much oil is in your water to ensure acceptable discharge levels?

Our Oil Content Analyzer with electro-optical sensing can detect even trace amounts of oil in water flowing through a pipe – and send an alarm if the amount exceeds a certain level.

Applications include:

  • Aircraft and truck washdown facilities
  • Storm water runoff
  • Ground water reclamation
  • Oil Water Separator Effluent monitoring
  • Power plant effluent
  • Industrial process water discharge
  • Fuel transfer station rain water runoff
  • Bilge water discharge monitoring

The design is very straight forward. The monitor is attached directly to the pipe carrying the oil water mixture. Every 8 seconds, a small sample is taken through the pipe wall. A light source shines through the sample and the system measures how much light has been absorbed and translates that into oil concentration. After the measurement, the sample is put back into the water stream.

This oil content value can be adjusted to any level between 2 and 500 ppm (or higher, if needed). When the measured oil concentration is higher than the pre-set value, visual and audio alarms will activate. The alarm relay output can also be used to control valves, pumps and/or an external alarm circuit. Many other options can be added including 4-20ma outputs.

Features

  • Self-Cleaning: Optical surface is cleaned each time it samples and expels water. Reduces maintenance and eliminates errors from fouled surfaces.
  • Completely Automatic Operation: Requires no attention from operators
  • Easily Installed: Just install through piping, no troublesome tubing
  • Reliable Sampling: Provides real-time results every 8 seconds without distortion
  • Rugged Design: Marine grade 316 stainless steel, bronze and aluminum.
  • Lightweight and Compact: Weighs less than 18 lbs (8 kg)

Approvals

  • S. Coast Guard 162.050/3013/1
  • ABS OONN10170, 95-NN7502-X
  • IMO Resolution MEPC.60 (33).

Why Do I Need an ORS System?

Recycling and filtering wash water reduces your fresh water usage as well as eliminates EPA and local impact fees, reduces sanitary sewer costs, and water restrictions. Ozone replaces costly and dangerous chemical disinfectants to eliminate odors and other contaminants in the water.

How Does the ORS System Work?

The ORS Series system settles and separates solids, free oils, greases and waxes. After initial separation, the water passes through a screen filter and then goes into a centrifugal separator. Ozone injected into the water kills bacteria and eliminates odors. The water constantly circulates in a storage tank and through a repressurization system for delivery to the wash equipment.

STANDARD FEATURES:

  • Large Capacity Filter Screen Pre-filter
  • High Volume Ozone Generator
  • Centrifugal Solids Separator
  • Solids Filtration to 5 Microns
  • Self-Priming Recirculation/Ozone Pump
  • High Efficiency Repressurization Pump
  • Thermal Overload Protector

OPTIONAL FEATURES:

  • Automated Solids Discharge
  • Additional Filtration Stages
  • Complete system Enclosure
  • Ozone Controller
  • Remote Monitoring
  • U.L. Listing

Automobile Leak Testing System

For clients who have to leak test vehicles to ensure that there has been no water intrusion after manufacturing or modifications, we have developed a complete leak testing system. Custom engineered to fit your facility and testing protocols, our water intrusion / leak testing systems consist of containment pads, test arches, a water supply system and a fully automated filtration system designed to remove contaminants from the test water so that it can be re-used for a period of time prior to disposal or discharge to the sewer. Designed for commercial and industrial applications, all features of the system are manufactured to insure superior performance and minimal operating requirements.

The containment system consists of a water containment pad constructed of steel or heavy-duty PVC.

Sized to fit your facility and test vehicle, these pads feature entrance and exit ramps and drive over and/or pedestrian grating, if desired. Custom-sized water-proof canvas canopies, PVC curtains or Fiberglass walls are installed on the pad to minimize overspray.

The leak test system is built to fit into the containment system so there is no overflow. Depending on the client’s needs, the leak test system will include multiple side and overhead spray arches, vertical spray posts, and undercarriage spray bars, positioned to provide optimal coverage.  The spray test will last for a client-specified period of time and can be easily controlled by a driver with a remote start/stop key fob.

During the water intrusion / leak test, water is automatically pumped from the containment pad through an initial filter to remove any minor solids and contamination. From there, water is pumped into manifolded water management tanks.  The tanks provide enough water storage to permit proper water balancing during the testing period and the water recovery time. The tank system is equipped with level switches to protect the pumps and to automatically provide for fresh water make-up due to evaporation or drive-off losses. From these tanks, water is pumped back to the test arches, when needed.

In most leak test applications, the contaminants are minimal so this pumping and filtration cycle can last a considerable amount of time. When the water becomes too contaminated to re-use, however, the water can be pumped out or processed through additional filtration and discharged to the sewer.

Containment Pad with Canopy/Walls –

  • Either fiberglass covered steel or HD PVC containment basins
  • Entrance & exit ramps
  • Drive-over, galvanized grating, installed with supports
  • Water-proof canvas canopy, PVC curtains or Fiberglass walls with supports



Leak Test System – designed for installation in containment pad

  • Spray arches with PVC piping and Aluminum frames
  • Entrance/Exit Spray posts with PVC piping and Aluminum frames
  • Undercarriage spray floor spray bar with PVC piping
  • Stainless steel fixed nozzles installed in PVC piping

Pumping & Treatment System- designed for installation adjacent to containment pad

  • Typically 60 GPM Flow rate @ 40 psi – can be higher or lower to client specifications
  • Non-Ferrous Construction – Stainless Steel, PVC
  • Fully-Automatic, pre-wired, pre-plumbed
  • UL listed custom control panel with relays and valves and level switches
  • Remote start and stop, field adjustable run time
  • Multiple water storage tanks with level sensors to receive water from basin
  • Fresh-water make-up system to keep tanks filled

5 Stages Of Oil Water Separation Diagram

5 Stages of Oil Water Separation Diagram

  1. The free oil (150 micron in size or greater) is separated in the inlet quiescent zone.
  2. The settleable solids will flow downward into the hopper section for removal.
  3. The suspended solids and dispersed oil will flow upward through the inclined plates
    section, where most of the suspended solids will slide down the plates into the hopper.
  4. The remaining suspended solids and dispersed oil will flow into the separation
    compartment where the coalescing plates will separate the oil 30 micron or greater to
    the surface for removal .
  5. The flow of water will go over the overflow weir plate into the clean water compartment
    and then discharge to the sewer.
