Oil–water separation has recently become a worldwide challenge due to the frequent occurrence of oil spill accidents and increasing industrial oily wastewater. In this work, the multifunctional mesh films with underwater oleophobicity and certain bacteriostatic effects are prepared by layer-by-layer assembly of graphene oxide-silica coatings on stainless steel mesh. The mesh film exhibits excellent environmental stability under a series of harsh conditions. The new, facile and reusable separation system is proposed to achieve deep treatment of oily wastewater, and the oil collection rate can reach over 99%.

Abstract In this paper we present a novel approach to designing sensors and instrumentation for monitoring and controlling multiphase processes. Our concept is based on using distributed sensor arrays, embedded within the vital plant components and thus forming smart structures. Distributed information obtained from such devices, coupled with appropriate data processing, could improve our understanding of the nature of multiphase processes and hence improve plant operation. We discuss the requirements for such sensors and, in the experimental part of this paper, present a short case study, conducted at UMIST Pilot Plant facility, to highlight the benefits of using smart sensing techniques in a process environment. We hope that this paper will open a general discussion on sensing multiphase flows.

ABSTRACT The physical separation process of coalescence has been studied analytically under controlled conditions in regard to the separation of oil from oily water mixtures. Variations in coalescer performance were studied as a function of the oily water feed to a three stage prototype separation system of which coalescence was the final stage. The data were analyzed statistically and it was shown that increasing suspended solids concentration, increasing oil viscosity, and increasing oil concentration decreased coalescer element lifetime, however, above a certain level increasing oil concentration had no effect. Variations in the total flow rate in the range of one to four gallons per minute per square foot did not have a significant effect on coalescer element life. Under all conditions studied, the effluent water contained less than 15 parts per million oil, only ten percent of the samples analyzed contained more than this amount. The results indicate that coalescence is useful as a final polishing step in an oil/water separation system.
