(UL 2215 Listed Oil/water Separators Only)
For both oils, the testing and report will show results for:
a) Pre-loading the test vessel with each oil prior to starting the performance testing for that specific oil. These tests pre-coat the oil separating media. Pre-coating insures that claimed long term performance results are obtained in the performance tests and that dilution or absorption does not give false results.
b) The maximum claimed flow rate for the maximum claimed inlet oil concentration that results in 10 ppm oil discharge.
c) The maximum claimed flow rate for a lower inlet oil concentration that results in 10 ppm oil discharge.
d) The maximum claimed flow rate for the maximum claimed inlet oil concentration that results in 15 ppm oil discharge.
e) Testing for clean water contamination. At the high and low flow rates tested, with no oil in the inlet water, analyze effluent. Effluent cannot exceed 10 ppm or 15 ppm for the respective design previously tested.
f) Each test will be conducted for a minimum 3 vessel volumetric turn-overs to show steady-state effluent conditions. Effluent samples will be obtained and analyzed after three (3) or more turnovers. During the entire test, oil is continuously fed and mixed with the inlet water. 1 vessel volumetric turn-over (time period in minutes) equals the entire vessel volume (gallons) divided by the flow rate (gallons/minute).
The oil/water effluent is to be analyzed by an independent laboratory using EPA test methods 413.1 and 413.2. A certificate of analysis will be supplied for each analysis performed. The laboratory must be accepted under the EPA Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) and must also regularly analyze EPA check (audit) samples as required for the performance of NPDES permit analyses. This documentation must be supplied to the OWS manufacturer along with the certificates of effluent analysis and oil's specific gravity and viscosity analyses for inclusion in the test report.
All flow sensors used will be traceable to NIST standards and such documentation will be included in the test report.
A test report detailing the results of the above testing shall be submitted with the bid.
