Abanaki Oil Concentrators

Abanaki Oil Concentrators

The Abanaki Oil Concentrator performs as a virtually complete oil water separator for recycling or disposal of either liquid.  Under most operating conditions, Abanaki skimmers pick up oil with only small traces of water.  However, as surface oil is reduced to a thin layer (1/16 inch or less), more water (or coolant) may be picked up along with the oil.  When used in tandem with an oil skimmer, the Oil Concentrator solves this problem by providing final phase separation.  The result is water (or coolant) available for recycling, and virtually water-free oil for disposal.

This Oil Water Separator is non-electrical and contains no moving parts — it simply receives liquid directly from the skimmer.  Based on the principle of gravity separation, the Oil Concentrator tank comes in three sizes so that there is adequate dwell time for the oil and water to separate.  Water discharge is through a tube that has an open end near the bottom of the Concentrator, while oil flow is through a separate drain port near the top.  As additional liquid enters the Concentrator, water and oil are forced out through their respective disposal tubes.
