Process Calculation for FREYLIT CPI Oil Separator

Project: CPI Separator flow rate 576 m³/hour (2x M+R 80)

Process Calculation Basis for FREYLIT Oil Separator

vr = (g / 18 * n) * (ρw - ρo) * d^2

rise velocity of oil droplets vr 0,0002 m/sec

gravitational acceleration constant g 9,8100 m/sec²
viscosity of water at 20°C ( normal 0,001kg/m.sec ) n 0,0007 kg/m.sec
specific gravity of water ρw 1100,0000 kg/m³
specific gravity of oil ρo 845,0000 kg/m³
diameter of oil droplets d 27,8262 Mikron

claculation of oil droplet size which can be separated

1. Volume of coalescent plate packs in m³ (VP):

lenght of plate pack T 0,5850 m

width of plate pack B 0,3050 m
hight of plate pack H 1,7500 m
number of plate packs in assembly x 24,0000 Stk.
Reduction factor for deducting plate thickness from total plate pack volume f 0,8000

VP = T * B * H * X * f

Total volume of needed plate packs VP 5,9951 m³

2. Residence time of oily water in the plate packs (Vz):

Vz = VP / NS

Residence time of oily waste water in the plate packs Vz 37,4693 sec
Flow Rate of Oil Separator = Nominal Size (NS) NS 0,1600 m³/sec

3. Rise velocity of oil droplets (vr) :

vr = ps / Vz

Risevelocity of oil droplets vr 0,0002 m/sec

Distance between colaescent plates ps 0,0060 m

4. Calculation to determine the size (diameter) of oil droplets which can be removed

d = √ [(vr * 18 * n) / (g * (ρw - ρo))]

diameter of oil droplets d 27,8262 Mikron

CONCLUSION : According to the above formula this oil separator will remove 100% of all oil
droplets which are larger than
28 Mikron diameter.

The spezial design of the FREYLIT coalescent plates features smaller plate distance at the crests of the waves than in the troughs. This
produces a pulsating stream, where smaller oil droplets collede to coalesce into lager droplets. This ensures that even smaler oil droplets are
also removed.
