Technologies for Shipboard Oil-Pollution Abatement Effects of Operational Parameters on Coalescence.
Abstract
The effects of several operational parameters on a three-stage oil/water separator system were studied. The report documents the way in which variations of certain operational parameters affected the coalescence subsystem, the final stage of the separator system. Cylindrical cartridge-type coalescer elements made of resincoated glass fiber were studied. Changing certain conditions significantly affected the useful life of an element. Particulate matter very seriously limited the service life of a coalescer element. Oil viscosity was also found to have a very strong effect with heavier oils decreasing element life. Increasing oil concentration also decreased the life of the element.
