Oil Water Separator | Oil Water Separators for Wash Bays & Workshops Get latest price

Oil water separators are essential equipment for any site where wash water or runoff contains oils, fuels, or hydrocarbons. Commonly used in wash bays, workshops, service depots, and industrial yards, these systems ensure wastewater is compliant with environmental regulations prior to discharge or reuse. They help businesses meet council and EPA requirements and significantly reduce the risk of environmental non-compliance.

The system operates by leveraging the difference in density between water and oil; contaminated water passes through coalescing tube packs, allowing oil droplets to rise, gather, and be separated. The cleaned water flows through baffles and filter bags for final polishing prior to discharge, while separated oil is retained for safe collection and disposal.

• Is a separator mandatory for wash bays? Not always, but an approved separator allows convenient and legal wastewater treatment and discharge to sewer.
• Is council or EPA approval required? In most regions, yes. Discharging untreated wastewater can result in fines or site shutdowns.
• How is the right size determined? Sized based on application, flow rate, oil content and intended use; specialist guidance is provided for appropriate model selection.
• Can it be installed outdoors? Yes, most models offered are suitable for outdoor use and are weather-resistant.
