Standard for Oil-Water Separators
Scope:
1.1 This Standard provides minimum requirements for shop fabricated single-wall or double-wall oil-water separators intended to collect and separate free oil from water by gravity separation at an inlet free oil concentration not exceeding 2 000 mg/L.
1.2 These oil-water separators are also installed for the capture and retention of oil spills under dry weather conditions up to the free oil retention capacity of the oil-water separator.
1.3 These oil-water separators are intended for installation and operation in accordance with, but not limited to, the following:
A Manufacturer's instructions;
