The VGS was developed to effectively remove free oil, grease and suspended solids from wastewater.  When performance is critical but space is restricted, our range of  Vertical Gravity Oil Separators are the answer. The main body is fitted with a continuous truncated conical spiral pack (SPAK) made of oleophilic material. Oily water is delivered into the bottom of the main body where it flows upwards through the centre of the SPAK assembly. At the top of the main body, free oil and low density suspended solids are held, which eventually flow out for collection and suitable disposal.

The partially cleaned water is directed to the outside perimeter of the conical SPAK and follows a tortuous pattern while cascading down and around the SPAK. Here the low density fluid (oil) is drawn up the incline of the oleophilic surface of the SPAK and back into the low pressure centre of the VGS, where it co-mingles with the incoming fluid and is redirected to the top of the main body. A continuous convention is created within the SPAK by the density and pressure variation down the fluid column and the upward flow of the clean water will enter the output leg of the separator flowing up and out of the system, whilst the heavy solids will drop to the base of the vessel.

These units give excellent performance and take up a minimum of floor space. Along with their treatment capabilities, these oil separators also boast a simple and rapid service regime. The owner or operator can quickly and easily ensure that his system is in peak working condition without dirty, time consuming service routines. These units are available in 700, 1500 and 3000 litre per hour models.
