| Vertical Gravity Separator (VGS*) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Overview | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The
Vertical Gravity Separator is a cylindrical multi-plate oil water
separator, that uses gravity as its' separating mechanism. The VGS*
has been acclaimed by a major water authority as "the best technology
of its kind" thanks to its' unique blend of features and performance.
Current water authority policies require businesses to pre-treat their wastewater or incur disposal fees based on discharge to the sewer. Although businesses may currently be inside wastewater penalty limits, as regulations tighten, they can either expect to commence incurring charges, or be subject to larger penalties. Thanks to the ingenious use of gravity, the VGS* can be used in many applications with extremely high efficiency levels, minimal maintenance time, while providing businesses excellent value. There are 2 ranges of VGS* models available:
Both separators can be supplied as a package, including a Liquid Skimmer (Skimmer*) and a pump. Furthermore, the VGS* can be used as stand-alone separator, or to supplement the performance of other systems. |

| How does the VGS* work? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The
Skimmer* skims just a few millimeters from the surface of the liquid
in the retention pit. This allows the VGS* to treat the zone of highest
concentration, or what is considered the most relevant fraction of
the liquid. Thanks to this process, the VGS* can treat liquid from
vessels that contain thousands of liters.
The wastewater is fed into the VGS*, via a pump, where gravity takes effect. The VGS* works by ingenious control of both fluid velocity and pressure, which gently coax impurities from the water. The liquid enters the VGS* and then flows up a series of continuous spiral oleophilic plates (SPAK). This allows high density suspended solids to fall into a sludge retaining area at the bottom of the VGS*, and for the free fat, oil, grease and hydrocarbon oil and low density suspended solids to rise to the surface of the VGS*. The low-density materials, collected at the top of the VGS*, then flow into a retaining tank, where they can then be disposed of as required. The sludge that forms at the bottom of the VGS* is periodically released through a valve on the VGS*, as maintenance schedules dictate. The clean water discharges from an outlet at the side of the VGS* and can be disposed of as necessary, or recycled for later use. |
