7.1 Separation time
It is recommended that the oil volume (V) in the
complete system, not only the tank volume, is
separated at least five times. The separation
capacity will normally be adjusted to about 100
litres per hour. Calculate the minimum running
time (T) by using the adjacent formula.

If separa ting emulsified oil it could be necess ary to
separate the total volume up to 10 - 15 times.
T = (V x 5)/100
T = Minimum running time
V = Vo lume in complete system (in litres)

7.2 Separation mode
Introduction
To learn the correct running strategy, first read
the information below carefully before s tarting
the separation process.
1. Decide if the separator will be opera
ted as
clarifier or purifier. The differe
nce between
them is described in chapter 5Work
ing
principle of the separator.
At delivery the separator is ass
embled as
aclarifier.
2. If the amount of water and sl
udge in the
oil is unknown, start the s
eparation in
clarifier mode (change o
f operation mode
is described in chapter
5.4 Changing
operation mode on page
22).
Run for 3 - 4 hours.
