Oil-water separation is the process of separating oil and water mixtures into their individual components. This is often done using a variety of techniques, such as physical separation, chemical treatment, and biological processes. The specific method used will depend on the type and amount of oil and water present in the mixture, as well as the desired outcome. In some cases, the goal may be to completely remove the oil from the water, while in other cases it may be sufficient to reduce the amount of oil present to an acceptable level. Oil-water separation is an important process in many industries, including oil and gas production, environmental remediation, and waste management.
It is the process of separating the dissolved and undissolved water into the oil used due to humidity in the air, system component failures.
This process is provided by three different methods.
1. Vacuum DEHYDRATOR: The most effective method is to destroy the water by evaporating it by heating under vacuum.
2. Centrifugal Separator: It is to scatter water by centrifugal method with density difference.
3. Oil Water Separation Filter: It is the process of absorbing the water mixed into the hydraulic system with the help of Abzorber.
Problems caused by Water in Hydraulic Oil; • Unwanted Bacteria Formation
• Corrosion on metal surfaces in system components
• Decreased lubricating properties due to deterioration of the oil's structure
• Deterioration and aging in the chemical structure of the oil
• System failures - sudden stops and system equipment damage
Benefits of Oil-Water Separation;
• Protection of system components and prolongation of maximum useful life of hydraulic oil
• Reduces maintenance costs by preventing sudden failures and reducing damage to hydraulic equipment
• Minimizes production losses by preventing sudden breakdowns and stops.
• Increases the oil change interval and reduces oil purchasing costs.
The lowest cost of the oil-water separation methods is the use of oil-water separation filter. Although it takes a little more time than other methods, with this method, the water in your hydraulic system is separated with appropriate costs and the water that is likely to be mixed into the system in the future is absorbed and the system is kept clean all the time.
HIGH PERFORMANCE FILTRATION In addition to high performance filters, the Hidroman product portfolio lists more products for effective fluid maintenance such as filter systems, oil analysis kits, particle counters and oil binders.
