Agree with Rafael and Marco. The API calculation is only the simple approach and doesn't take elements like a coalescing filter, DAF, dosing of emulsion breakers etc. into the equation. Also the design of the feed pump can have an influence: high rpm vortex pumps tend to disperse droplets, where low rpm screw-type impellers can provoke some coalescing action in the connecting piping.

most of the mechanical separation system based on Stokes law, including hydrocyclone technology which takes only 1/10th of the space compare to API and works on single PD Pump and can separate oil droplet of up to 15 micron compare to API design which only separate more than 150 micron.
