A Phase Separator With Inclined Parallel Arc Coalescing Plates (Ipacp) For Removal Of Mechanically Emulsified And Free Oils From Wastewater

Parallel to rapid urbanization and industrial growth, environmental resources have been inversely affected and deteriorated by ever increasing discharge of wastewaters loaded with oil and grease (O&G), emulsified oils and free oiJs. A novel and highly efficient oil-water separator equipped with...
