Gnopres Oil Separator (GOS)[Mar. 30, 2008 10:18:02]
GNOPRES OIL SEPARATOR (GOS) is special equipment applied for separate mixture of oil and water, even in the emulsion form.
GOS is combining of the three processes, Coagulation, Coalescent and gravity settling into single unit package equipment. Simple and automatic operation, small foot print, reliable and cost effective.
How to separate O / W emulsion
An emulsion is a mixture of two or more immiscible liquid. In this mixture the oil particle is still present, but does not form droplets and larger concentrations. It hard to separate

Let the oil droplets to coalesce each other to form larger droplets. Liquid-Liquid Coalesces are used to accelerate the merging of many droplets to form a lesser number of droplets, but with a greater diameter. This increases the buoyant forces in the Stokes Law equation. Settling of the larger droplets downstream of the coalesced element then requires considerably less residence time.
Let the droplets rise by gravity (stokes settling) and separate from water
