Three-Phase Oil Recovery and DAF Water Treatment System
The S3S Tri-Canter three-phase centrifuge separates tank bottoms into light liquid, heavy liquid, and solids in one continuous pass, so hydrocarbons are recovered and recycled instead of hauled off as waste. Dissolved air flotation (DAF) then treats the water stream.

At 200 usgpm the DAF runs a 10 minute flocculation time and 2.5 usgpm/ft² surface loading, with a recycle rate up to 100 usgpm. Sources: Tri-Canter, DAF.

S3S engineers an integrated centrifuge and water treatment system around your tank-bottom characteristics, processing volumes, and recovery targets, then supplies the equipment and crew to operate it on site. The S3S lab can test the water stream so you know where it can go.
