Oil water interface below test cock:
The oily water separator works on the principle of gravity separation whereby oil will rise and
occupy the top whilst water will push its way through the outlet at the bottom. Oil which
accumulates at the top will be drained into the sludge tank via a solenoid operated valve. This is
made possible by capacitance probe which senses the level and activates the draining cycle.
Failure of the probe to initiate the above will lead to drop in oil level which will deteriorate the
separation process. Test cocks located just below the probes will enable such abnormalities to be
detected and rectified. Failure to perform regularly checks will allow the process to further
deteriorate and may result in oil being discharged with water.
