- Highly efficient in separating oil from water in treatment of oily waste water
- Non-toxic and environmentally-friendly
- Able to significantly reduce BOD and COD of the treated water
LIMAX Chemical Pte Ltd specializes in providing high-efficiency demulsifiers for use in oily waste water treatment.
What is a demulsifier?
A demulsifier, namely emulsion breaker, is used to break the unwanted emulsions formed between water and oil. There are two classes of emulsions ─ namely, water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions, which separately demand totally different types of demulsifiers.
How does a demulsifier function in treatment of oily waste water?
As you know, in the case of oily waste water created in industrial processes and daily life, an oil-in-water emulsion is formed, making water treatment very difficult. To our expertise, a combination of different mechanisms cause the formation of stable emulsion in waste water, demanding an efficient oil-water demulsifier to separate oil from water by emulsion-breaking. Thus, we are proud to offer EMB-16T.
Why is EMB-16T to be used?
EMB-16T, has been developed specially for use in oily waste water treatment. It is targeted at breaking oil-in-water emulsions, especially those extremely stable ones. EMB-16T is a novel liquid-form demulsifier, soluble in water phase. By use of EMB-16T, BOD or COD level of treated oily waste water is significantly reduced so as to satisfy governmental requirement before discharge. Emulsion-breaking by EMB-16T can also serve as a preliminary step for membrane treatment of waste water in order to avoid membrane foul by oil and enhance membrane efficiency.
