oil-water separation equipment is widely used in various industries, such as petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, food processing and biotechnology.
The working principle of the equipment is based on the difference in physical properties between oil and water, such as density, surface tension and interfacial tension.
The equipment includes gravity settling chambers, centrifuges, coalescers and membrane filters. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of efficiency, cost-effectiveness and maintenance requirements.
In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards the development of advanced oil-water separation technologies that can handle complex mixtures with varying compositions.
Future research directions include improving the scalability of existing technologies to meet the needs of large-scale industrial applications and developing new materials with enhanced performance characteristics for more efficient separation processes.
