How it Works

How the T.O.S.S. System Works – A Closer Look

Understanding the operational mechanics of the T.O.S.S. Tramp Oil Separator System provides insight into its efficiency and effectiveness. Our system uses advanced coalescing technology to remove tramp oil and suspended solids from coolants and wash waters, enhancing the longevity and performance of industrial fluids. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:

Skimming the Surface:

The journey begins with the EdjeTech floating skimmer, which is strategically placed in the fluid reservoir. Designed to adjust to the fluid surface, it skims off free-floating oils and captures fluid containing mechanically dispersed oil and suspended solids just beneath.

Filtering the Fluid:

Once the fluid is skimmed, it's drawn through the skimmer into a separator supply pump. The next stop is a bag filter housed within the separator, where suspended solids are efficiently filtered out, leaving behind cleaner fluid.

Coalescing Media:

Post-filtration, the fluid moves under the tramp oil discharge trough into the heart of our system — the highly efficient coalescing media. This media is engineered to maximize surface area in a compact space, boasting 132 square feet of surface area per cubic foot. It's here that 99% of 20-micron oil droplets (and larger) are separated on the first pass, thanks to the vast area available for coolant flow and separation.

Returning Clean Fluid:

After the coalescing process, the now-clarified fluid flows into a clean fluid chamber. From there, it’s gently discharged back into the original reservoir through an adjustable overflow weir, completing the cycle of purification.

Automatic Oil Removal:

As the coalescing media does its work, free oils rise to the tank's top and flow into the tramp oil discharge trough. These oils are then automatically drained out of the system into a holding container provided by the client, such as a 5-gallon pail or a 55-gallon drum, ensuring that the system maintains its efficiency without manual intervention.
