SPECIAL CONFIGURATIONS - Rectangular
 
McTighe Industries engineering staff is involved in every step of completing a successful oil-water separator installation from design, to manufacture, to installation, to support. Each separator we sell is designed to meet specific project requirements. Since the rectangular separators are installed above grade and not subject to soil loading, there are many different arrangements possible. This section will provide information on some of the more common adaptations we can provide. Do not hesitate to contact our office for other special applications.
 
A. Solids Interceptor Compartment
 
The solids interceptor is typically used where a high loading of heavy solids and sand is expected and no other means of grit removal is provided before the separator. This can include vehicle washing facilities and desert or coastal areas. One possible configuration of a solids compartment is shown below.
 

B. Automatic Water Pump-out System

 

Water pump-out systems are required when site conditions prevent gravity discharge from the oil-water separator or the separator is discharging to a force main. Rectangular separators are a popular option for groundwater remediation projects that require pumping of the effluent to secondary treatment. McTighe can provide the pump(s), control panel, level sensor, check valve(s), and other accessories required for a complete package. McTighe can supply submersible, top mounted self-priming, and flooded suction pumps depending on discharge requirements.

 

 

 

C. Three Phase Separation

 
When light AND heavy oils are present in the influent, McTighe has the experience and capability to provide an oil-water separator designed for three phase separation. The separator arrangement varies with the anticipated quantity of light oil and heavy oil in the influent. Contact McTighe Industries with your project requirements.
