ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for separating oil, gas, and sand from a waste water stream and for separating oil from oily sand in a waste water stream including an upper oil manager for removing low pressure gas and at the same time collecting and conveying any oil separated from the waste water stream; a sand helix connected to the upper oil manager for separating sand particles and oil particles from the waste water stream; a sand manager connected to the sand helix for collecting sand separated from the stream of waste water and removing oil from the sand; flow controls connected to the sand manager and the lower oil manager for controlling the flow of oil, water and sand through the apparatus; a lower oil manager connected to the flow controls for receiving oil and transferring oil to a storage tank outside of the apparatus; an oil reservoir located beneath the lower oil manager for receiving and containing oil, and an oil helix connected to the lower oil manager for separating trace oil from the waste water stream.
