Westlake - Model ECS - Emulsion Cracking System - Brochure

The Westlake Environmental Emulsion Cracking System (ECS) is highly efficient in removing free, dispersed and emulsified hydrocarbon products from a waste stream.  The model ECS is a modified Oil Coalescing Separator that includes a chemical treatment step both upstream and downstream of the separator for removal of emulsified oils.  Lowering the pH of the incoming water destabilizes the petroleum hydrocarbon oil water ionic bond, allowing the oil to become free. The free oil is then removed in the oil coalescing chamber of the ECS tank.  The system is completely integrated and skid mounted.
