API Series Steel

Oil/Water Separators

Pan America Environmental API Series, steel oil/water separators are a gravity

differential separation design for removal of free and finely dispersed oil dropletsfrom oily wastestreams. The design follows the American Petroleum Institutes (API)

Manual on Disposal of Refinery Wastes for design of oil water separators. API perfor-

mance: 100mg/L, 150 micron free, dispersed and non-emulsified oil droplets. The APIsteel design is just one of 8 different oil/water separator designs from Pan America

Environmental that can be used singularly or in combination with other treatmentprocesses such as emulsion cracking, DAF & clarifier pretreatment.

Full, turnkey systems can be provided with many types of options and customconfigurations can be provided tailored to the particular project requirements orwastestream needs. Eleven separator sizes are offered for flow rates up to 600 GPM.

The API can be installed above, flush with or below grade. Conversion to a DAF canalso be accomplished for flotation where needed.
