WATER WALL: A versatile and cost-effective liquid-liquid separator for oil dispersions in water

摘要

Water Wall separation system yields an extremely efficient separation of oil dispersions in water. The system is based on a peculiar process, which is patented in Italy and is going to be internationally patented, which exploits the physical properties of oil, water and a specifics liquid -liquid interface support to create the water wall surface barrier against the passage of oil droplets: separation efficiencies can reach extremely high levels, even in the presence of quasi-stable emulsion with droplets of sub-micrometric size.
