    Kleerwater Oil Water Separator Sizing Determine the amount of rainfall (flow rate in gallons per minute) capable

    of flowing through the oil water separator. Formula: Gallons per minute (gpm) = Area to be collected x 25 year rain fall expectancy x 0.0104 Examples: Local with 3.2 of anticipated rain fall. (See 25 year rain map) Area of affected site = 300 ft x 300 ft = 90,000 square feet Expected 1 hour rain fall for area = 3.2 (See 25 year rain map) gpm = 90,000 x 3.2 x 0.0104 gpm = 2995.2 gpm rounded off is 3000 gallons per minute Require Kleerwater oil water separator size = 15,000 gallon size

    Local with 3.2 of anticipated rain fall. (See 25 year rain map) Area of affected site = 300 ft x 300 ft = 90,000 square feet Expected 1 hour rain fall for area = 2.1 (See 25 year rain map) gpm = 90,000 x 2.1 x 0.0104 gpm = 1965 gpm rounded off is 2000 gallons per minute Require Kleerwater oil water separator size = 10,000 gallon size Notes: Change the required area as needed. Vary the anticipated rain fall as illustrated on 25 year rain map Calculate the flow rate. Review the Kleerwater Oil Water Separator brochure, on our website, and determine the size of separator required based on the calculated flow rates. Please note: Oil water separators are designed to remove free floating oils and greases as described in our literature. Our oil water separators are not designed to remove VOC, volatile organic solvents, or highly dissolved solids. The use of general detergents will emulsify oils and greases and will not allow them to separate adequately in our oil water separators. This will lower the oil water separators efficiency.

    Kleerwater oil water separators are not designed for use in applications where cleaning detergents are involved unless the detergents are supplied and furnished by Kleerwater LLC technologies. Solvents or highly dissolved solids, such as untreated sanitary sewers, should not be introduced into Kleerwater separators. Kleerwater separators will not separate chemical emulsions, dissolved hydrocarbons or volatile organic hydrocarbons.
