API oil-water separator

 An API oil-water separator is a device designed to separate gross amounts of oil and suspended solids from the wastewater effluents of petroleum refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and other industrial sources.

 The name is derived from the fact that such separators are designed according to standards published by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

 The API separator was developed about 75 years ago by the API and the Rex Chain Belt Company. The API separator is normally the first, and most important, wastewater treatment step in petroleum refineries. The primary function of a properly designed API separator is to remove the majority of oil and suspended solids from refinery wastewater prior to subsequent downstream wastewater treatment processes.

Krofta is a leading source for API Separator design, engineering, and manufacturing services. A well-designed, properly functioning API Separator is a tremendous piece of wastewater process equipment for refineries, chemical plants, power plants, and many other heavy-duty industrial facilities. They are designed per American Petroleum Institute standards (API) for above and below ground installations.
