SAS® Tank Oil Water Separator

The SAS (or Separate and Skim) Oil Water Separator is a complete oil separation and removal solution for industrial process water and wastewater applications. The SAS system efficiently separates oil and water, then immediately and continuously removes the oil from the water, and does it all in a limited space. The oil-free water can then be treated, recirculated or discharged.How does the SAS system work?SEPARATE The SAS tank accepts a continual flow of liquid and directs it into a separation chamber, where the oil and water form two distinct layers. Coalescing media in the SAS tank expedites the separation of the oil from the water.REMOVE Unlike most other oil water separators, the SAS system includes a Brill® tube-type oil skimmer (sometimes called a rope mop skimmer or a snake skimmer). It uses a Free Floating Collector Tube® that actively and continuously removes oil in the separation chamber. It snakes around the tank, avoiding floating objects and adjusting to changing water levels.That’s what we call Active Oil Removal®. The Brill oil skimmer actively and continuously removes 100% of the free floating oil in the tank. It also eliminates the build-up of oil that’s a primary cause of inefficiencies and maintenance issues in other oil water separators.

Where is the SAS system used? 

The SAS oil removal system is ideal for a wide range of applications:

• Food process oven lines
• Sumps or pits
• Wash tanks
• Rainwater runoff and groundwater infiltration
• Truck wash water treatment
• Wastewater pretreatment

Oil Skimmers, Inc. has made thousands of installations over the past 58 years. So, we know what it takes to design a successful oil removal solution. That experience has been incorporated into our SAS design through our rigorous system engineering process.We optimize our products and systems to specifically fit your application:

• We determine whether standard units or special options are required.
• We take into consideration all the factors that determine the most efficient oil removal system:
  • Flow rate
  • Temperature
  • Oil characteristics: weight, viscosity, quantity
• We believe that one size does not fit all.

A variety of options and customizations are available to fit your application:

• Solutions for high amounts of oil to water or heavy slugs of oil
• Automation with other equipment: collections tanks, pumps, alarms and beacon lights
• Explosion-proof enclosures for hazardous areas
• Oil sensing technology
• Teflon™ or epoxy coatings, or other special materials
• Oil collection reservoirs to contain recovered oil
• Heat tracing and insulation to improve separation or flow
• Tank mounting options
