Oil Water Separator

Wastewater Treatment

An oil water separator is basically an assembly of instruments used for treating wastewater. By properly separating recyclable water with oil, they make it safe to dispose liquid waste to an approved discharge point, such as sewers. Apart from oil, it removes grease and hydrocarbons so that non-hazardous water can be extracted and reused.

There are several kinds of oil water separators. Each functions differently to suit different commercial and industrial applications.

Varieties include: Coalescing, Hydrocyclone, Vertical Gravity (API), Flotation Separators — all of which are capable of treating contaminants in water such as dissolved oil, free-floating oil, emulsified oil, and suspended solids.
