The McTighe Product Saver is design to separate oil and water in a batch type process. This equipment is mainly used to remove condensate water from the bottom of bulk fuel storage tanks. McTighe has separate arrangements for processing above ground storage tanks and below ground storage tanks. Hand or electric pumps are used to facilitate fluid transfer.

Oil and water enter the system and pass through the diffuser within the holding tank. The diffuser distributes the contaminated water into the tank and creates retention time necessary for separation. This combined action causes oil to rise to the surface and water to collect at the bottom.

The immediate separation action continues until only product enters the Product Saver, or until the holding tank is full to capacity at which point the inlet valve is closed.

Clean water may then be discharged through the water draw-off valve. Control is accomplished by observing the product interface through the sight gauges. After all the visible water has been discharged from the system, the product can be completely pumped back into the oil storage tank through a 50 PSI hand pump or optional explosion proof electric pump. The system saves valuable product while dispensing the water.

The capacity of each cycle may be from 45 to 525 gallons depending upon the model selected. Special sizes, construction materials and skid mounting options are also available.
