Hyde Products Delivers 16 Oil/Water Separators To Mexican Navy Hyde Products delivered 16 Hyde model MSS-022 oil/water separa- tors to the Mexican Navy for instal- lation aboard the naval minesweeping vessels of the Admi- rable class, part of the navy's exten- sive modernization and overhaul program. Hyde Products has a long history of sales of marine oil/water separators for processing bilge wa- ter and other oily waste waters. Hyde offers a full range of oil/water sepa- rators from 1.5 gpm to 20 gpm. The Hyde separator operates on the prin- ciple of gravity flow through a fixed porous media bed. There are no moving parts, no chemicals and no replaceable filters or cartridges. The results, according to Hyde, are mini- mal operating costs and a low initial capital outlay. All of Hyde's marine separators are U.S. Coast Guard approved to 46 CFR 162.050 and to IMO resolution A393 (x). Effluent discharge is monitored through the use of an oil content monitor. Hyde separators guarantee discharged oil contents of less than 15 ppm: a three- way diverter valve is employed to route unacceptable oil levels back to the bilge.
