Profile

Separation Specialists has specialised in service and repair of flotation equipment since 1989, specialising in all types of induced gas flotation units. With our expansion to the Gulf of Mexico in 1992 we broadened our customer base to incorporate the offshore industry. Separation Specialists now sells, along with our service, the premier Separation Specialists MIGF mechanically induced gas flotation and nutshell filtration equipment. Our units are self contained vessels built on a skid to simplify transportation and installation. The mechanical induction of gas in the units has proven to be the most successful means of removing minute oil droplets, down to 8 microns. The Separation Specialists MIGF has set the benchmark in flotation for more than thirty years. Our Pressure Guard nutshell filter design is the latest technology innovation in media filtration. Water treatment applications Separation Specialists delivers the following applications: oil field produced water, suspended solids removal, contaminated water treatment, ballast water, as well as agricultural and paper processing, chemical processing, storm water runoff, plus food processing.

The Pressure Guard filters are the latest technology in media filtration and are unequalled in removing suspended solids and hydrocarbons from produced oilfield water and refinery wastewater. They are effective for the treatment of oily residue, ash and metallic hydroxides from industrial liquids generated by metalworking, power generating, municipal, chemical or petrochemical industries; technical assistance/service; as well as custom preventative maintenance plans and inspections Most of Separation Specialists' products centre around the treatment of water with flotation and filtration. Flotation utilises minute gas bubbles to float micron-sized oil droplets and suspended solids where they may be removed. Typically, a flotation unit is employed as a secondary treatment phase. Nutshell filtration is typically used for final filtration or water polishing after flotation. Repair and maintenance Repair and maintenance is available for our SS MIGF, Wemco, Unicell and other flotation units. Separation Specialists can repair or service your current Nutshell filters regardless of the manufacturer. Separation Specialists can diagnose the problems with your flotation or nutshell filter, and either repair it or convert it to help get your produced water programme back on-line. Standard and custom parts are available for all equipment to repair or replace and to improve performance. Agitators for the Wemco units may be exchanged for reconditioned, reducing downtime. Separation Specialists also work with the customer to develop custom maintenance plans to reduce costly downtimes.
