2-96. OIL/WATER SEPARATION SYSTEM.
a.
The oil/water separator removes non-soluble oil, solids and trapped air from an oil/water solution. Normally, all
bilge water is fed into the separator.
Federal law prohibits the dumping of oily substances into restricted waters.
The system may not produce a legally acceptable oil-free water effluent if the
water to be processed is contaminated with soap, detergents, bilge cleaners,
protein foam, or similar surfactants.
b.
The oil that has been separated from the water is held in a 25 gallon (94.6 liter) tank. The water is discharged
overboard.
c.
The oil/water separator is also used to pump used engine oil into the holding tank, or a separate container.
d.
The following is an index of the operating procedures:
