Hydrodynamic Separator Unit for Removal and Recovery Oil from Wastewater

Mohamed Ahmed Mahmoud

The hydrodynamic separator unit is established for the removal and recovery of oil from wastewater, Which including, flotation system and sedimentation of solid materials. Several operating parameters are investigated such as feed flow rate, percent of oil in feed flow rate, percent of water in feed flow rates, air flow rate and type of water (salinity). Separator unit is found to be simple in the design, fast in operation and effective under all possible operating conditions.
