Wemco is the standard for removing oil and grease reliably. The unit is a horizontal vessel built on a skid. The mechanical gas induction of the Wemco has proven to be one of the most successful means of removing minute oil droplets. As such the Wemco unit has set the benchmark in flotation for over 30 years. Separation Specialists supplies refurbished Wemcos with a one-year warranty.
Waste water flows horizontally through the unit which contains 5 cells or chambers. The first four cells are aerated while the final is quiet or not aerated. The gas bubbles carry oils and suspended solids to the water surface where they are removed. Skimmers facilitate the removal of the oil while reducing skimmed water. The final quiet cell removes the last oil and gas from the water.
The Wemco unit can remove 90 to 95% of the oil in the feed water. Chemicals may be added within the vessel to further improve efficiencies. Our experience has also developed custom features that enhance the performance and operation of the unit.
