Solar System based Water-Oil Separator by Using Multi-Disc

This study focuses on the separation of oil and water to determine the most effective method for recovering oil from the water surface mixture, such as in the case of the Empress Oil spill, with the aim of producing oil-free water. Additionally, it addresses the development of mechanical apparatus designed for the separation of oil from water. An oil and water separator, a type of mechanical equipment utilized in environmental pollution control following oil spillage incidents, aids in the elimination of oil from water surfaces. Through the implementation of polycarbonate materials within the oil separator, industrial mixed water can be rendered free from oil contamination. This device finds application in effluent treatment plants. The paper provides insights into the construction, fabrication processes, assembly, operation, and diverse applications of oil and water separators. While various methods exist for oil removal from water, the disc-type oil skimmer emerges as a commonly preferred choice.
