The
Hydro-Flo Advantage
Engineering & Design
The design of all the equipment in the Hydro-Flo product line is
based on years of theoretical and practice experience. We
take every aspect of our products design into consideration.
We analyze cross sectional velocities (actual not nominal), length
to height to width ratios (for proper overall flow distribution),
laminar flow conditions & Reynolds calculations (for quiescent flow
distribution), Inlet flow distribution, effluent flow distribution,
sludge management and conditioning, and every other possible
criteria throughout the entire device. Everything is taken
into consideration.
To resolve these multiple design issues we
apply
sophisticated engineering and multi-physics fluid dynamic modeling
programs.
All this experience, as well as our ongoing design and practical
application research assures you that every Hydro-Flo product
will perform exactly as designed each and every time.
Flexibility
Our standard design practices give
our equipment unmatched flexibility.
All of our separators can be upgraded with features and
functionality not available from any of the competition.
Our base model API style separators can be upgraded with numerous
media types and sizes. Our clarifiers can be upgraded with the
addition of drag skimmers. The addition of optional sludge
augers / thickeners and other options are basic bolt on operation
that can be easily performed in the field. You can
even convert any Hydro-Flo separator into a fully functioning DAF or
IAF with the addition of a dissolved or
induced air recycling system. Hydro-Flo separators are never
outdated. They can be reconfigured to meet your changing
process requirements.
Experience
Hydro-Flo is one of the world leaders in separation technology. We
have been supplying standard and custom designed specialty
separators for over 20 years. We have supplied the primary
separation systems to the worlds largest oil refineries. We
have supplied specialty equipment to chemical producers solving
complex liquid phase separation issues. We have manufactured
more separators over the past 20 years than any other manufacturer
in the United States.
For Example...
We were
the first to "properly" apply the data provided in API pub 421
"Design and Operation of Oil/Water Separators". This document
supplies a tremendous amount of data in regard to the proper design
of oil water separation equipment and is frequently quoted by
manufactures as the basis for their separators design.
Unfortunately even today, 20 years after it's first publication,
much of the data is misapplied.
In fact, most of our competitors only solve for projected surface
area without consideration to any of the other design parameters.
Support
Our customer support is the finest available.
We offer pre-sale
technical support, engineering support during the submittal process,
manufacturing and shipping schedule updates, tech support during
installation, start up support, support for your operators,
maintenance support.
Value
Hydro-Flo equipment is the undisputed leader in market value.
When finished evaluating our overall designs, quality of
construction, level of experience and support you will be surprised
to find that we are very competitively priced with the competition.
Hydro-Flo's guaranteed low price
Evaluating water and wastewater treatment
equipment for purchase can be a difficult task. If you perform
a search on the Internet, you will find literally hundreds of
companies who claim to manufacture wastewater treatment equipment,
but NONE of them publish the price of their equipment or systems.
Also, few and far between publish their engineering specifications
or design criteria, AND the information found on sites is
inconsistent at best and is presented as more of an advertisement as
opposed to useful engineering specifications and data.
We price ALL our products to be competitive
with like equipment. If you find our price higher than that of
a competitive product, it is most likely because we are not making
an apples to apples comparison. Even when "supposedly" talking
about the same piece of equipment, the actual physical size can vary
by as much as 50% or more.

of equipment design and sizing issues...

Oil Water Separators...
Also, our equipment is built to the strictest
structural and mechanical design standards. There are few who
even approach our quality of fabrication, construction and design.
Every piece of equipment we manufacture is designed and built to
last a lifetime. We take pride in the fact that our equipment
is NOT designed to the bare minimum standards, but built as if it
were for our own use.
In conclusion, we are confident that our
pricing is competitive with like equipment. In fact, we
guarantee it. If you find a
supplier selling like equipment for a lower price, we will not only
match the price, but we will beat it by 5%.
