1、Designation: D6157 97 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Practice forDetermining the Performance of Oil/Water SeparatorsSubjected to a Sudden Release1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6157; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the c
2、ase of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice describes the testing procedure, any nec-essary related apparatus, and the
3、sampling technique to be usedin determining the performance characteristics of an oil/waterseparator subjected to the sudden release of a relatively largequantity of hydrocarbons that may appear in its influent in pureform or at high concentration.1.2 This practice does not address the determination
4、 of theperformance characteristics of an oil/water separator subjectedto surface run-off resulting from rain water draining fromimproved or unimproved land. In this case, refer to PracticeD6104.1.3 This practice does not address the determination of theperformance characteristics of an oil/water sep
5、arator subjectedto a mechanically emulsified influent such as provided by apump.1.4 This practice does not investigate the ability of theseparator to handle debris or suspended solids, that is, grit ortree leaves.1.5 While the effluent may meet code requirements for totaloil and grease content, this
6、 practice does not address thepresence of soluble organics, that is, benzene, toluene, ethyl-benzene and xylene (BTEXs) that may be detected in theeffluent. It also does not make any provisions for the effects ofdetergents, surfactants, soaps or any water soluble matter (thatis, salts) or any portio
7、n of an essentially insoluble matter thatmay be found in solution on separation. (Effects of certainwater soluble chemicals or solids may be investigated byadding them to the water at predetermined constant concentra-tions.)1.6 In order to estimate the effect of water temperature onthe performance o
8、f the separator, the tests described in thispractice must be performed at two water temperatures. Theselected temperatures must be at least 10 C (18 F) apart, withthe temperature ranging from a minimum of 0 C (32 F) to amaximum of 50 C (122 F).1.7 This practice does not make any provisions for theva
9、riation of pH or temperature during a test run. Refer toAppendix X1 for further detail.1.8 This practice can be used with a variety of hydrocar-bons. It adopts No. 2 fuel oil with a density2of 845 kg/m3(52.73 lbm/ft3) and a viscosity2of 1.9 to 4.1 centistokes at40 C (104 F) and SAE 90 lubricating oi
10、l with a density (SeeSAE J313) of 930 kg/m3(58 lbm/ft3) at 15.5 C (60 F) and aviscosity (See SAE J306) of 13.5 to 24 centistokes at 100 C(212 F) as the comparative testing media. It is understood thatthe results obtained from this practice are only directlyapplicable to No. 2 fuel oil and SAE 90 lub
11、ricating oil for thetested concentrations and only careful interpolation or extrapo-lation, or both, is allowed to other hydrocarbons. Low viscosityor high density hydrocarbons or hydrocarbons that contain alarger fraction of highly soluble compounds may need to betested separately.NOTE 1No extrapol
12、ation outside the range of the tested influent oreffluent oil concentrations is allowed as performance may not be linear.Hence, to establish performance at a higher or lower concentration, theseparator shall be tested for that specific condition. In addition, linearitymust be established prior to us
13、ing linear interpolation.1.9 Since regulations are based on effluent total hydrocar-bon content, this practice does not set forth any lower limits onoil particle size for the evaluation of separator efficiency.However, a standardized means for mixing oil and water shallbe specified to ensure repeata
14、bility. It must be noted howeverthat smaller particles, having a greater surface area to volumeratio, rise at a slower rate than their larger counterparts. (GuideF933 requires that 20 % of all oil particles be smaller than orequal to 50 m and IMO MEPC 60 (30) does not mention anyparticle size requir
15、ements but asks the user to avoid emulsioncausing chemicals.)1.10 Although the tests described in this practice intend tosimulate the performance of a separator subjected to a suddenrelease, they do not cover all possible applications.

29、r.4. Summary of Practice4.1 The practice evaluates a separators ability to inhibit asudden release from escaping into its effluent. For this, aquantity of hydrocarbon constituting at least the rated oilstorage capacity of the separator is released at the separatorsrated flow for the test conditions,
30、 either in pure form or mixedwith water to form a 500 000 mg/L concentration. It is thenimmediately followed with fresh water. The correspondingeffluent hydrocarbon content is determined by obtaining andanalyzing grab samples.4.2 The data generated in this practice are considered validfor the separa
31、tors tested only. However, the results of thesetests may be extrapolated to smaller or larger size separatorsprovided that applicable geometric and dynamic similitude aremaintained. Where the use of extrapolation is not applicable,that size unit must be subjected to testing.4.3 Other concentrations
32、and quantities of hydrocarbonsmay be used. However, this shall be noted in the report andwhen referencing this practice.4.4 For the purpose of this test, the water temperatureshould be between 50F and 70F and the pH of the waterbetween 6 and 9.5. Significance and Use5.1 The Clean Water Act promulgat
33、ed the implementationof water quality standards and contamination limits for a widerange of pollutants including oil and grease. Specifically, theUSEPA, in 40 CFR Ch. 1, prohibits “the discharges of oil thatcause a film or sheen upon or cause discoloration of the surfaceof the water. . .” Several st
34、ate and local agencies have adoptedthis statement in addition to setting concentration limits, that is,15 mg/L or even 5 mg/L.

Test Set-Up and Apparatus6.1 Water SupplyThe water supply can be either a watermain, a water reservoir and a pump, or an elevated storage tankcapable of providing the volum
