Engineered for reliable hydrocarbon removal and compliance with strict Australian wastewater standards. Advanced Oil Water Separation Systems
Oil water separators play a critical role in Australian industry for managing trade waste, stormwater runoff, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards. These systems efficiently remove hydrocarbons (including diesel, hydraulic oil, grease, and other light oils) as well as suspended solids and sediment from wastewater and stormwater.
How Oil Water Separators Work
Using density differences, oil water separators allow lighter oils to rise to the water’s surface, while heavier solids settle at the bottom. Modern systems use engineered flow paths and coalescing technology which encourage oil droplets to merge, accelerating their separation and removal for more reliable and efficient treatment.
Typical Applications
- Vehicle and equipment wash bays
- Mechanical workshops
- Industrial processing areas
- Fuel storage and transfer zones
- Petrol stations, transport yards, mining operations, marine ports, construction sites, municipal infrastructure
