API oil water separators are passive, physical separation systems designed for removal of oils, fuels, hydraulic fluids, LNAPL and DNAPL products from water. The API Series steel gravity Oil/Water Separators are designed per American Petroleum Institute (API) standards for above and below grade applications. API Oil/Water Separators are designed with many features and options to provide engineers, system integrators and end users with convenience and flexibility in system integration choices. Customization & modifications are available.

Products removed: motor oils, fuels (vehicle/jet), fuel oils, hydraulic fluids, immiscible machining oils, lube oil, transmission fluid, bunker c, DNAPLs, LNAPLs, vegetable based oils, crude, air compressor lube & other many hydrocarbon based derivatives (BTEX etc..). Model sizing is based on the oil/fuel specific gravity, droplet size removal desired and other parameters of the wastestream.

Pan America Environmental's designed performance can be described by a combination of Stoke's Law and current coalescing plate theory, wherein, the oil droplet rise rate and other parameters dictate the surface area required for gravity & coalescent separation. We provide wastewater treatment equipment tailored to fit the demands of your wastewater treatment application.
