CS - 100

INTRODUCTION

As with any equipment, proper installation and maintenance will improve performance and life expectancy. The following suggestions are designed to assist you in installing and operating your oil/water separator. However, this does not exclude other methods or procedures proven by your own experiences.

INSPECTION

Close inspection of all parts as soon as received from the shipper is very important. Shipping damage and missing parts can be identified at the outset, thereby preventing installation delays and unnecessary expense. All damage claims must be submitted directly to the shipper within 10 days of receipt of the equipment. Electrical nameplate characteristics of motors, controls, etc. should be checked promptly.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The oil/water separator is designed for continuous year round separation of oil/petroleum based products from water or other waste or process liquids. The standard oil/water separator has the fluid passing through an oleophillic (Oil Attractive) coalescing module which provides the basis for the separation process. The basic components of the oil/water separator are described below.

Coalescing Module A preformed module of corrugated PVC or

CPVC located inside of the separator

Oil Skimmer

Custom Automatic Drum Skimmer.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This unit is equipped with 1 electric motor. It requires 230/460 VAC, 1 PH, 60 Hz.

IMPORTANT:

All electrical connections and wiring must be done in accordance with the national electric code, state and local codes. Properly ground all electrical equipment and security lock all electrical control panels.
