Course Description
This one-day course reviews the methods of removing oil from oil-in-water mixtures.
Different modes of oil presence in water will be studied, and main unit operations for deoiling, such as API separator, Skim Tank, Floatation methods (ISF and IGF), Oil Removal Filters, Centrifuges, Hydrocyclones, Coalescers, and Demulsification methods will be discussed. Additionally, several case studies will be presented and discussed in class.

A complete set of course materials and lunch is included in this course.
