  1. Separation of Oil from Water Team H2Oleum

  2. Overview • Client description • Problem statement • Needs statement • Preliminary research • Emulsion & Separation • Bench scale emulsion • Overall system • Coagulation & Gas Injection System • Analysis • Project timeline • Budget Mahdi Mohammad

  3. Client Description Waste-Management Education and Research Consortium (WERC) • Typically, the environmental tasks have no known solution or the available solutions do not meet performance criteria • The goal of the competition is to design, develop, and test actual environmental processes for real-world problems. Ali Hasan

  4. Problem Statement • Task: • Emulsion techniques • Separate emulsified oil in water • Design: • Cost effective • Efficient • Robust • Ideal solution: • High degree of separation • 100% water 0% oil • 100% oil 0% water Non-emulsion Vs. Emulsion Ali Hasan

  5. Project Significance • Increased use of petroleum creates a need to remove emulsified oil from water before disposal • This project removes oil contaminants from the water • Safer and cheaper to dispose • Recovers oil

  6. Needs Statement • Full Scale Model: • 100 GPM • Uses industrial waste oil • Uses brackish water • Bench Scale: • Emulsified vegetable oil • Represents the industrial waste oil in full scale • Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) disposal Given: • 10 gallons of emulsified oil-water solution • @ 200 mg/L concentration • Must obtain one gallon of separated water and 8 ml of oil Ali Hasan

  7. Preliminary Research:Emulsion • Physical Emulsion • Shearing Power • Chemical Emulsion • Emulsification Agent • Sound Energy • Sonicator Sonicator Christina Holt

  8. Emulsion Techniques for Bench Scale Vitamix 7500 ~2.2 horsepower motor 120 V or 12 A 23,000 RPM Can boil water in under 10 minutes Cost: $500 Christina Holt

  9. Preliminary Research: Separation • Physical Separation • Plate Separation • Electrical Separation • Electrocoagulation • Chemical Separation • Coagulation and Flocculation • Gas Injection System Physical Separation Electrical Separation Christina Holt

  10. Overall System Storage Tank Chemical Injection Coagulation & Flocculation Gas Injection Tanks Mahdi Mohammad

  11. Storage Tank • 16,000 gallon storage tank will accommodate flows up to 130GPM for 2 hours. Mahdi Mohammad * All the dimensions are in inches

  12. Coagulation and Flocculation System • Best Chemical? • Chemical: Ferric Sulphate • Dose = 30mg/L • Amount: 16.35 kg/day • 0.2 gram every second Mahdi Mohammad

  13. Coagulation and Flocculation System Dry Chemical Injection Coagulation & Flocculation * All the dimensions are in inches Mahdi Mohammad

  14. Gas Injection System • 3 gas injection tanks : 1 coagulation system • When 3rd tank is ½ full, 1st tank ready for more emulsion Daniel Pardo

  15. Gas Injection Tank Multiple Gas Spargers Water Exit Oil Exit Valve * All the dimensions are in inches • Compressed Nitrogen Gas • Small Bubble Size • Oil Layer (25 mm = 1inch) • Collection Daniel Pardo

  16. Bench Scale Gas Injection Tank Coagulation and Flocculation System • Coagulation • 2 minutes rapid • 5 minutes slow • Gas Injection • 45 Minutes Daniel Pardo

  17. Competition Results • NMSU Chemical Team • Clean water • No oil found in water sample • Minimum oil recovery • Losses occurred during transfers • 7 Teams • Only first and second announced Daniel Pardo

  18. Analysis 3 • Head losses • No overflow • Oil particle size • 1. Emulsion Stage • 2. Coagulation • 3. Gas Injection • Confirms oil will separate 2 1 Stage 1: Emulsion Stage 2: Coagulation System Stage 3: Gas Injection System Daniel Pardo

  19. Project Timeline • Research (Emulsion & Separation) • Design Choice • Coagulation System • Gas Injection System • Bench Scale • Final System Full Scale • WERC Competition • Website • Visit our website for more information • Search Keywords: “OilFromWater h2oleum” Daniel Pardo
