The condensate enters the Expansion Chamber through Coupling A. The air is dissipated through the top which allows the oily condensate to gravity flow from Portal B into the main tank through Portal C. The condensate then enters into Chamber 1 where the condensate flows through the first Coalescing Filter Pack.
The small particles of oil coalesce, joining to form larger “drops.” Because oil has a lower specific gravity than water, the oil then rises to the top and exits through Coupling D. The oil that is accumulated is ready for environmentally safe disposal. Meanwhile, “separated” water slowly sinks to the bottom where it is collected by the Pick-up Hose 1. From there the water travels through Coupling E to Chamber 2 for further separation.
The effluent then travels through the Coalescing Filter Pack 2 to remove the maximum gravity separable oil. The separated oil in Chamber 2 exits through Coupling F for proper disposal. The water then exits Chamber 2 through Pick-up Hose 2, passing through Coupling G and proceeding to the Patented Exterior Activated Carbon Filter Polishing Unit.
