An oil-water separation method to separate oil-contaminated water into clean, filtered water for use. The method comprises filtering prefiltered, coalesced oil-water in an oleophobic depth-type filter.

Method of oil-water separation

An oil-water separator system and method to separate contaminated oil and water into clean water and free coalesced oil for collection and removal. The system includes a process tank for the oil and water, a pump to pump the oil and water through first and second stage oil-coalescing filters and through a full depth, fibrous filter under back pressure to provide filtered clean water of selected purity; typically, less than 20 ppm. The coalesced and filtered oil-water is returned and recycled to the process tank wherein a free coalescing oil layer forms on the surface, which free coalesced oil is removed by a belt skimmer for collection and removal.

An integral coalescer filter-membrane device to provide clean sample gas to gas analyzers. The device includes a housing, an inlet port for feed gas, an outlet port to withdraw clean sample gas essentially free of entrained liquids, such as water, and particulate material which might contaminate or interfere with the gas analyzer, a bypass port and a drain port to remove by gravity coalesced liquid. The device includes a filter tube to coalesce and filter the feed gas stream and a chamber having a supported hydrophobic selected porosity membrane. The outlet port receives clean sample gas from the upper portions of the chamber, while the bypass port removes coalesced filtered gas from a lower chamber.

A method of manufacturing a fibrous, nonwoven, flow filter tube and the filter tube so prepared, which method comprises forming a filter tube from an aqueous slurry containing an admixture of both low-melting-point binder and high-melting-point filter fibers, and, thereafter, heating the filter tube to a temperature greater than the temperature of the low-melting-point fibers and less than the temperature of the high-melting-point fibers, to effect melting of the low-melting-point fibers, the molten material of the low-melting point fibers forming at the crossover points of the high-melting-point fibers to act as a bonding agent, thereby preparing a nonwoven, self-supporting, fibrous filter tube composed of the filter fibers.

An apparatus for and a method of removal of particulate material and boiler-feed additives from pressurized, saturated steam, which apparatus includes a composite cartridge in which particulate matter is removed by a filter tube and boiler-feed additives are removed by contacting the filtered steam with a bed of a hydrogen-form, strong-acid, ion-exchange resin, and saturated, pressurized steam substantially free of particulate matter and volatile, alkaline, boiler-feed additives are recovered for use, for example, in food-preparation and sterilization purposes.

A test kit and method for determining in a semiquantitative manner the amount of oil mist in a compressed-air stream, which method comprises bleeding a small sample from the compressed-air stream containing oil mist whose concentration is to be determined; directly impinging the compressed-air stream so bled for a defined time period through a defined orifice onto the surface of a coated plate containing an ultraviolet radiation indicator to capture the oil-mist particles in the compressed-air stream, thereafter comparing the test plate with a standard plate of known concentration of oil mist under ultraviolet radiation to determine the degree of flourescent quenching as an indication of the amount of oil mist in the compressed-air stream.

A glass-fiber filter tube and process of preparing the filter tube, which filter tube comprises a plurality of randomly disposed, fine glass fibers bonded, at the junction of the fibers, with a fused thermoplastic fluorocarbon resin, which filter tube may also include a reinforcing support scrim sheet incorporated integrally therein.
