The ICSEP system naturally aspirates air into the oil/water stream prior to the pump. As this mixture is forced through the patented cyclone, the air and oil droplets are sheared and then dynamically mixed with the water and suspended solids.
The homogenous mixture is discharged into the DEV (Downstream Enhancement Vessel), where rapid gravitational separation takes place. The air encapsulated oil droplets and suspended solids move to the surface and are then returned to the main pit via a skimmer. The main pit is continually treated by a VGS (Vertical Gravity Separator), which continuously skims the free oils out of the pit.
