Fluid Separation Systems

ThermoSep^TM

Separating and Air Stripping of Liquids
To Remove Immiscible Contaminants

Operation

The liquid stream to be treated is pumped into the Decanter and gravity separated. Float sensors are set to determine the pumping time and duration for each phase. The heavy phase is pumped out of the bottom for storage and reuse. The water (with some contaminate still saturated in it) is heated and pumped to an Air Stripper. Warm air is provided to mix with the water and absorb the contaminate. All valves and controls are provided for automatic and safe handling of all fluid streams. Secondary containment is provided in a full base pan with detection for the presence of the heavy phase (from leakage or spill). Density is monitored in the liquid stream that is pumped to the Air Stripper to stop an inadvertent heavy phase transfer.

Advantages

• Separation and treatment in the same package.
• Complete Skid mounted packages of mechanical equipment provided for system safety and ease of installation.
• No contaminated condensate stream for disposal (as with a steam stripper).
• Air flow is adjusted for the proper overhead concentration to avoid an explosive mixture or environmentally unacceptable concentrations.
