The AquaTex™ HS (Hydraulic Separator) was developed as an extension to the DAF technology to reduce moving parts and provide a fully enclosed unit. Hydraulic separators work extremely well in environments looking to reduce suspended solids, oils and grease, metals, BOD, COD, and VOC’s. Coupled with membrane technology the effluent normally discharged can become an alternative source for plant process water.
50 gpm oil field wastewater pre-treatment system for wastewater recovery

Wastewater is collected in a mixing tank, a flocculent polymer compound is added and mixed, precise amounts of air is added as the wastewater passes through a flocculator and into the hydraulic separator. The wastewater is saturated with finely dispersed microscopic air bubbles and attach themselves to the flocculated particles. They rise to the top where they form a slug blanket and pass out the top of the separator as the blanket rises. An optional outlet can be located at the bottom for heavier settled solids that tend to sink.

The clean, treated water can be discharged in compliance or “polished” with membrane technology for further treatment or reuse in the plant.
