Oil-water separation purification system and oil-water separation purification method using the same
[0001] The present invention relates to an oil-water separation purification system and an oil-water separation purification method using the same, and more particularly, to an oil-water separation purification system and a glass separation purification method using the same, which provides a step-by-step oil-water separation treatment process in contaminated water mixed with water and oil to efficiently separate and discharge water and oil for purification, and also automatically induces the oil-water flow according to the oil-water separation treatment process in a natural falling manner to provide work efficiency and process automation.
[0002] In general, oil-water separators are devices that separate oil and water, such as those that separate industrial oils generated from various machines, or those that separate oil from wastewater containing animal oil discharged from homes, restaurants, outdoor campsites, and factories that handle animal oil.
[0003] If wastewater containing a mixture of oil and water (hereinafter referred to simply as "oil water") is discharged without further purification, it can cause significant damage to the natural ecosystem. To address this issue, a process for collecting the oil water and pretreating the collected wastewater is essential.
[0004] The methods mainly used to separate water and oil from wastewater containing water and oil include gravity treatment, hydraulic separation, and filter separation.
[0005] First, gravity separation involves floating oil on the water and then skimming it with an oil skimmer to remove it. For example, gravity separation involves allowing the oil to settle in a separation tank or flow along multiple guide plates, and capturing the oil that floats to the surface due to differences in specific gravity with an oil skimmer. Because gravity separation requires installation space and power to float the oil and operate the skimmers, it's only applicable to large-scale facilities, such as sewage treatment plants, where stagnant or slow-moving oil is likely. Furthermore, it presents the disadvantage of being somewhat inconvenient to maintain.
[0006] Hydraulic separation is a method that separates oil and water by centrifugal force and gravity, forming specific flow patterns, such as vortices, within a confined space. However, because hydraulic separation relies on suction and removal of oil suspended at the top, it has a fundamental limitation: complete oil removal is difficult to achieve.
[0007] Filtration separation uses a filter, such as nonwoven fabric, to filter out oil while allowing water to pass through. This method poses a risk of oil leakage if the oil accumulates heavily in the water. Furthermore, it requires regular filter replacement and cleaning, making continuous treatment of the water difficult.
[0008] In particular, wastewater containing animal oil has problems such as difficulty in smooth oil separation due to the phenomenon of animal oil solidifying during the oil separation process, and animal oil solidifying and clogging the area where oil is separated and discharged and the inner walls of sewer pipes.
[0009] Additionally, as the hardened animal oil on the inner walls of the sewer pipes rots, it produces a foul odor and secondary problems occur, such as the foul odor flowing back through the sewer pipes.
[0010] We would like to examine the recently disclosed prior technologies related to oil-water separation.
[0011] Utility Model No. 0432702 (Oil-water separator) discloses a configuration including a container body having an internal space filled with a predetermined amount of water, a partition plate provided in the container body to divide the internal space into a plurality of sections, the lower portion of which is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the container body and the upper portion of which is higher than the water level so that the filled water can move back and forth between the plurality of internal spaces, a water discharge unit formed on a wall surface of the container body where one of the plurality of internal spaces is located and maintaining a constant water level of the filled water, an oil discharge unit formed on a wall surface of the container body where another of the plurality of internal spaces is located and located higher than the position of the water discharge unit, and an oil-water mixture supply unit that supplies an oil-water mixture in which oil and water are mixed toward the internal space where the oil discharge unit is located.
[0012] The above prior art has a simple structure in which water is discharged to a water discharge port beyond the partition plate by a partition plate and oil that does not pass the partition plate is discharged through an oil discharge port. Therefore, when the amount of inflowing water increases rapidly and the water level rises, there is a problem in which an oil layer is formed higher than the oil discharge port, causing water to be discharged as is through the oil discharge port. In addition, the problem of animal oil solidifying and blocking the oil discharge port cannot be solved at all.
[0013] Utility Model No. 0442571 (kettle for oil-water separation) discloses a configuration comprising a kettle body having a predetermined height, a first beak protruding horizontally from the upper portion of the kettle body, and a second beak protruding from the lower portion of the kettle body and extending in a curved or diagonal shape to a height lower than the discharge port of the first beak.
[0014] The above prior art is in the form of a kettle and separates oil and water. Since it has a simple structure that pours the oil layer located on top of the water to one side, there is a problem that if the inflowing oil is not constant, it overflows or oil and water separation is difficult. In addition, this technology cannot solve the problem of animal oil solidifying and blocking the oil discharge part.
[0015] Patent No. 1270222 (oil-water separator) discloses an oil-water separator that is equipped to adjust the height of a plug that slides along the top of a vertical pipe, thereby effectively responding to oil layers of different heights. However, the prior art has a problem in that it is difficult to effectively respond to oil layers that vary depending on the water level simply by adjusting the height of the plug, and the solidification phenomenon of animal oil hinders the height adjustment of the plug.
[0016] In this way, the conventional oil-water separator had a problem in that, because of its structure that required the oil layer level to be precisely adjusted to the part where the oil is discharged, if the flow rate and velocity of the injected oil were high, the oil layer would change, and the oil would not be separated and discharged alone, but would be discharged together with water.
[0017] In addition, although wastewater and sewage separation systems have been proposed, the infrastructure for the purification process at each stage of the system is very complex, and a purification system for oil-water separation suitable for limited installation locations has not been provided, which has provided several factors that reduce work efficiency.
[0018] Therefore, there was a need for an oil-water separation purification system and its purification method that could efficiently separate and discharge water and oil by providing a step-by-step oil-water separation treatment process suitable for the site, and that could be customized to the installation location of the infrastructure, thereby improving work efficiency and oil-water separation purification performance.
[0019] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention to solve the conventional problems as described above is to provide an oil-water separation purification system that provides a step-by-step oil-water separation treatment process in contaminated water mixed with water and oil, thereby efficiently separating and discharging water and oil for purification.

[0065] Preferably, the height difference (P) of the installation equipment from the drum screen (300) to the drainage pump (700) is configured to be sequentially different, so that the flow of water from the drum screen (300) to the inspection tank (600) can be automatically induced in a natural falling manner.
[0066] The above-mentioned water storage tank (100) is a box-shaped housing structure in which the incoming water is stored, and the bottom can be configured to have a slope (R) to enable smooth discharge movement of the water.
[0067] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the oil storage tank (100) may be configured in a manner of connection by further including a water storage tank (1100) in which oil and water are mixed and stored at a certain location underground or above ground; and a raw material supply pump (1200) that pumps oil from the oil storage tank (1100) to the oil storage tank (100).
[0068] On the other hand, referring to FIG. 3, the oil-water storage tank (100) is configured to directly introduce oil-water mixed with water from a sewage pipe, and includes a supply pump (200) for discharging and moving the oil-water storage tank (100); a drum screen (300) for primarily removing various types of sludge from the oil-water supplied from the supply pump (200); at least one scum remover (400) installed for secondarily removing the residual sludge supplied from the drum screen (300); and an oil-water separator (500) for separating, purifying, and discharging water and oil from the oil-water supplied from the scum remover (400).

At this time, water flowing in through the water distribution holes (423b) may be discharged through the water discharge pipe (470) at a certain height while water separated from scum rises from the bottom. In other words, a structure may be provided in which scum is filtered and discharged from the top, and water is discharged through the inner tube through the bottom to the water discharge pipe, thereby separating scum and water in a dual manner.

[0093] Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the oil-water separation purification system according to the present invention and the oil-water separation purification method utilizing the purification system will be described. The following description follows the structural description above.
[0094] A method for separating oil and water using an oil-water separation purification system that separates water and oil mixed in wastewater flowing in from outside can be provided.
[0095] The oil-water separation purification method according to the present invention may be composed of a process including an oil-water storage step (S100); an oil-water transport step (S200); a primary floating matter removal step (S300); a secondary scum removal step (S400); an oil-water separation purification step (S500); an inspection step (S600); and a purification drainage step (S700).
[0096] <Water storage stage>
[0097] The raw liquid mixed with water and oil by the supply is stored in the oil storage tank (100) (S100).
[0098] <Water transport stage>
[0099] From the above-mentioned water storage step (S100), the water in the water storage tank (100) is discharged and moved by the supply pump (200) (S200).
[0100] <1st floating matter removal stage>
[0101] In the above-mentioned water transport step (S200), the water supplied from the supply pump (200) is first pretreated by a drum screen (300) to remove various floating substances (S300).
[0102] <Second Scum Removal Stage>
[0103] In the first floating matter removal step (S300), the supplied water is separated into residual floating matter (scum) and water by a scum remover (400) and secondarily pretreated to remove scum (S400);
[0104] <Oil-water separation purification stage>
[0105] The oil flowing in from the above second scum removal step (S400) is separated and discharged as water and oil by an oil-water separator (500) to perform oil-water separation purification (S500).
[0106] <Inspection phase>
[0107] An inspection is conducted to check the degree of turbidity in the water separated and discharged from the above water separation purification step (S500) (S600).
[0108] <Purification discharge stage>
[0109] In the above inspection step (S600), purified water is finally discharged into the sewer (S700).
[0110] First, in the above-mentioned water storage step (S100), wastewater or treated water (flow) mixed with water and oil is introduced and stored, and then immediately moved to the next step flow process.
[0111] Here, a process may be further provided that includes using a water storage tank (1100) in which a mixture of water and oil is injected and stored at a certain location underground or above ground according to the degree of the water capacity; and a raw material supply pump (1200) that pumps the water from the water storage tank (1100) to the water storage tank (100).
[0112] Next, in the above-mentioned water transfer step (S200), the water is transferred to the drum screen (300) using the supply pump (200).
[0113] Then, in the first floating matter removal step (S300), the supplied water is received through the drum screen (300) and foreign substances and sludge, etc. are first pre-filtered from the water.
[0114] In addition, in the second scum removal step (S400), the first pre-treated water is received through the scum remover (400) and pre-treated and filtered again for the second time. At this time, the scum remover (400) can be installed in parallel or in series with the first scum remover (400A) and the second scum remover (400B) in comparison to the inflow water volume.
[0115] Preferably, in the subsequent scum removal step, water and oil can be configured to be separated and discharged separately through a binary process using specific gravity.
[0116] Next, in the above oil-water separation purification step (S500), the water (oil) pretreated in the scum removal step is supplied to the oil-water separator (500) and is separated and discharged as water and oil through pretreatment using specific gravity and heat again.
[0117] Here, depending on the site with a large daily water discharge volume or the installation conditions of a large-scale site, the water supplied directly from the sewer pipe along the sewer line may be bypassed to the sewer pipe through the last recovery pump (1300) and the process repeated to increase the water purification performance relative to the amount of input.
[0118] Finally, only the final separated water is checked for turbidity and then purified and discharged.
[0119] Preferably, the installation heights of the devices are sequentially lowered from the above-mentioned water storage stage to the inspection stage, so that the flow of water from the drum screen to the inspection tank can be automatically induced in a natural falling manner.
[0120] As described above, the oil-water separation purification system according to the present invention and the oil-water separation purification method using the same provide a step-by-step oil-water separation treatment process in contaminated water mixed with water and oil to efficiently separate and discharge the water and oil and purify them, and provide a step-by-step oil-water separation treatment process suitable for the on-site installation section to efficiently separate and discharge the water and oil, and provide the effect of automatically inducing the oil-water flow according to the oil-water separation treatment process in a natural falling manner to provide work efficiency and automation of the process.
[0121] The present invention is a device that can collect more than 99% of vegetable and animal oils discarded in the kitchen by automatically separating the oil with a separate oil discharge unit, and the content of vegetable and animal fats in the discharged water is 20 mg / L or less, and the moisture content of the collected oil is also less than 1%, so it has a high purity and high recycling value. According to the Enforcement Decree of the Sewerage Act, a screen with an effective gap of 10 mm or less must be installed at the inlet where solid substances flow in, and a grease blocking device must be installed at the inlet where fats flow in. According to the Enforcement Decree of the Water Environment Conservation Act, the allowable discharge standard for vegetable and animal fats among n-hexane extracts is 30 mg / L.
[0122] Although the present invention has been illustrated and described with reference to preferred embodiments as described above, it is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and variations are possible within the scope equivalent to the technical idea of the present invention and the scope of the patent claims to be described below by a person having ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
