ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for use in removing oil containing contaminants from articles includes a wash station and a rinse station. At the wash station, the articles are immersed in a tank of wash water containing detergent to remove oil containing contaminants from the articles. A flow of wash water containing the detergent and oil is conducted through an oil retainer. The oil is removed from the wash water and retained by the oil retainer. A flow of wash water which contains detergent and is substantially free of oil, is conducted from the oil retainer apparatus back to the wash tank. After having been removed from the wash tank, the articles are immersed in deionized rinse water in a rinse tank to remove detergent and any remaining oil containing contaminants from the articles. A flow of rinse water is conducted through a rinse water conditioning apparatus which includes a carbon pack filter which removes organic materials from the rinse water and a deionization apparatus which deionizes the water to remove any inorganic materials. The deionized water is returned to the rinse tank.
