  • Self-Contained Water and Oil Separator
    Publication number: 20190232201
    Abstract: A system and method for the separation of oil and water. Contaminated water is introduced into a settling and separating bowl through an inlet pipe. The contaminants float to the top and are recovered by a weir skimmer. The weir skimmer is fluidly connected to a recovered oil tank which receives the recovered oil. An oil separator filter belt is located in the separating bowl and separates the bowl into two segments: an upstream end on the side closest to the inlet and a downstream end on the opposite side of the inlet of the belt. The oil separator filter belt aggregates entrapped and entrained oil and other contaminants.
