Solving the challenge of advanced oil removal from oily wastewater in machining! Brator’s horizontal oil-water separator achieves a new technological breakthrough.

In core machining operations—such as lathe processing, equipment maintenance, and parts cleaning—the generation of oily wastewater is an inevitable challenge for the industry. This type of wastewater contains a complex mixture of contaminants, including equipment oil, engine oil, lubricants, and machining fluids. Direct discharge not only causes severe environmental pollution and violates national regulations but also results in the wasteful loss of valuable oil resources. Traditional oil removal methods, limited by their technology, can only handle large oil droplets and struggle to achieve deep oil removal, making them inadequate for meeting increasingly stringent environmental discharge standards. Against this backdrop, the Brator horizontal oil-water separator was developed. Featuring an innovative design that integrates multiple technologies and backed by numerous patents, it successfully resolves the industry's pain points regarding oily wastewater treatment. By achieving efficient, deep purification, it provides robust equipment support for green manufacturing in the sector.

The Brator horizontal oil-water separator is not merely a simple combination of existing oil removal techniques; rather, it is a comprehensive deep oil removal system that integrates advanced technologies such as cyclone separators, stainless steel coarse-media coalescers, polymer coalescers, and corrugated plate coalescers. Its core design builds upon proven industry technologies and leverages the expertise of professors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and major universities. By incorporating Brator’s proprietary patented coatings and designs, the system overcomes the performance bottlenecks inherent in traditional equipment. It effectively solves the common industry issue where equipment removes large droplets but fails to capture small ones, thereby endowing the unit with exceptional deep oil removal capabilities.

A distinct characteristic of oily wastewater from machining is the presence of clearly defined oil layers; however, the tiny oil droplets (smaller than 20–30 microns) hidden within the wastewater pose a critical challenge for controlling total oil content and meeting discharge standards. Conventional methods—such as air flotation, filtration, and adsorption media—are effective only for large oil droplets and have negligible impact on tiny droplets, ultimately making it difficult for the treated wastewater to comply with environmental regulations. The Brator horizontal oil-water separator employs a synergistic multi-technology approach to create a refined, staged oil removal process: first, a hydrocyclone pre-treats the oily wastewater, rapidly separating out large quantities of free oil and larger oil droplets; next, a stainless steel coalescer (utilizing the coarse-grain effect) aggregates fine oil droplets into larger globules; finally, polymer and corrugated plate coalescers further enhance the coalescence effect, ensuring the complete separation of even the smallest droplets and achieving the ultimate goal of deep oil removal.

Designed specifically for the machining industry, this horizontal oil-water separator offers outstanding advantages that fully align with the practical production needs of machining plants:

1. Exceptional Oil Removal Efficiency: Capable of reducing total oil content in wastewater from 1,000 ppm to below 50 ppm—or even under 20 ppm—easily meeting national environmental discharge standards;

2. High Level of Automation: Supports continuous operation without the need for frequent manual intervention, significantly reducing labor costs;

3. Extensive Proprietary Technology: Incorporates both a patented coating and a patented design, which not only improve deep oil removal performance but also greatly enhance operational stability and durability;

4. Workshop-Friendly Design: Features a compact structure with a small footprint, perfectly suited to the space constraints typical of machining workshops;

5. Eco-Friendly Design: Utilizes a sealed structure that generates no odors or secondary pollution during operation, aligning with green manufacturing principles;

6. Lower Operating Costs: Employs a purely physical oil removal method requiring no chemical additives; this eliminates the risk of secondary pollution caused by chemicals while effectively lowering long-term operating costs.

Furthermore, the Brator horizontal oil-water separator boasts excellent environmental adaptability and resistance to acids and alkalis, allowing it to flexibly handle oily wastewater generated by various machining processes and meet the demands of diverse operating conditions. The equipment effectively treats oily wastewater containing oil droplets larger than 10 μm; when equipped with a demulsification filter element, it achieves high-efficiency separation of micro-droplets as small as 0.1 μm. It truly meets the industry's core requirement for a single, versatile unit capable of deep oil removal, fundamentally solving the challenge of treating oily wastewater in the machining industry.

As a specialized, high-tech enterprise in the oil removal sector, Brator places technological innovation at the heart of its development strategy. The company focuses on addressing key environmental challenges within the industry and is deeply committed to the field of oily wastewater treatment. Its horizontal oil-water separator not only ensures efficient separation but also innovatively establishes an integrated "oil-water-sludge" resource recovery system. The equipment continuously discharges separated oil and sludge, enabling their separate collection and classified processing. This process efficiently recovers oil resources—fully capturing their residual value—while simultaneously reducing oily sludge generation and easing the burden on downstream water treatment facilities, thereby achieving a true win-win for environmental protection and energy conservation.

Looking ahead, Brator will continue to leverage its technological strengths to deepen its engagement in the oily wastewater treatment sector and continuously optimize the performance of its oil removal equipment. By providing products and solutions that are more efficient, energy-saving, and eco-friendly, the company aims to accelerate the green transformation of the machining industry and make a substantial contribution to the high-quality development of the nation's environmental protection efforts.
