The free oil is then removed in the oil coalescing chamber of the ECS tank.\u00a0 The system is completely integrated, and skid mounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OPERATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-stage treatment system is complete with gravity flow through a single skid.&nbsp; The system includes chemical feed systems, mixers, pH controllers and controls for all mechanical devices.&nbsp; Raw water enters the initial chamber of the ECS where a pH adjustment and\/or an emulsion breaking chemistry are added and mixed to break the emulsions.&nbsp; Oil\/water separation begins in this chamber. Water leaving the initial chamber continues to the Oil Coalescing Separator portion of the tank where the free oil coalesces and is removed.&nbsp; Clean water continues to the final chamber where the pH is neutralized prior to discharge.&nbsp; Operation is completely automatic and requires only periodic calibration and check to ensure proper operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Westlake Environmental for more information at 616-610-1450 or at sales@westlakeenv.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GENERAL INFORMATION The Westlake Environmental Emulsion Cracking System (ECS) is highly efficient in removing free, dispersed and emulsified hydrocarbon products from a waste stream.\u00a0 The model ECS is a modified Oil Coalescing Separator that includes a chemical treatment step both upstream and downstream of the separator for removal of emulsified oils.\u00a0 Lowering the pH of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1385,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2107","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
