Separators of other design, such a ceular wait, are givag satisfactory performance BASIC PRINCIPLES OF SEPARATOR DESIGN Rate of Rise of OW Globules The basic principles governing separation of il fom water by gravity diferetal may be expressed mathe- rmatcally. The expressions inveved, tei relationship to separator dsiga, and ther derivation ae shown if ‘Appendix 1. The product of this mathemascal teat ‘meat is equation (1). This isan expression of Stoker law for terminal velociy of spheres ins quid meu that is applicable to the rat of ise of ol obues. ‘The apolcabilty of equation (1) 10 oi lobules in waste water bas been investigated. From tbe resus of experiments and from plant operating data, it has been determined that che design of wastewater separs- tors should be based onthe rte of rise of oll lbules having diameters of 0.015 em. Tit globule swe, a. ‘ough somewhat arbitrary, has been adopted for design purposes because both laboratory experiments anda study of existing plant data indicate that satisfactory ol emovals ate achieved whea the 0.015-cm-dameter Particle is wed ata bais of design or invesigaton. With a valve of 0.015 cx for the diameter of the eobule, D, the rate of rise of oll globules ia waste eater may be expressed i eet pr minute as: o Where: Y= mie of rise of oll globule (0015 am in di meter) in waste wate, in fet per minute Su = specie pravity of waste srater at design tom erate of flow. ‘S,= specie gravity of oil a waste water at desin ternperature of ow. = absolute viscosity of the watt water at design temperature in pois.
