The OKO-aquaclean emulsion breaking systems from OKO-tech are specifically designed for the treatment of stable emulsions. Stable emulsions such as used metalworking fluids, landfill leachate, heavy-metal-containing process water and degreasing baths containing emulsifiers are treated using physico-chemical processes.
In the OKO-aquaclean, stable emulsions are effectively broken down using advanced, high-performance demulsifiers, while heavy metals are removed from the wastewater.

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is an integral part of OKO-aquaclean emulsion breaking systems. By specifically generating microscopic air bubbles, even the finest particles and oil droplets can be efficiently separated from the water.
An optimised seven-chamber reactor with a high-performance flotation module ensures a uniform flow through the system. Automatic level control maintains stable and consistent process conditions.
Pump Technology
The wastewater to be treated is fed into the emulsion breaking system using a low-pulsation progressive cavity pump.
Following treatment, the clarified water can either be discharged by gravity or transferred using an integrated clean-water pump, including over longer distances or to elevated collection tanks.
The separated float sludge is collected and can be safely removed using an optional float sludge pump.
Dosing Technology
The OKO-aquaclean can be equipped with up to nine dosing pumps. Depending on the treatment requirements, one to four pumps are typically used.
The dosing pumps are precisely calibrated to the specific medium being dosed, helping to prevent overdosing while reducing operating costs.
Light Liquid Separator According to EN 858
Our emulsion breaking systems meet the requirements of EN 858. The CE marking documents conformity with the applicable EU requirements and confirms compliance with the relevant safety and quality standards.
Measurement and Analysis Technology
The emulsion breaking system is equipped with comprehensive online monitoring and analysis technology. Feed and outlet streams are continuously monitored for process data, water quality and flow rate.
Digital measurement technology enables precise monitoring of all relevant parameters, including pH, conductivity, temperature, redox potential and oil phases.
Control Technology
Thanks to modern PLC-based control technology and an intuitive user interface, the OKO-aquaclean emulsion breaking system is easy to operate.
Operating parameters such as flow rate and dosing quantities can be configured according to the treatment requirements. All operating data is automatically recorded and logged.
Remote maintenance and communication interfaces also enable straightforward integration into existing control and process automation systems.
