In any industrial process, wastewater is a common byproduct. Used in processing and cleaning, it is an essential ingredient to any process. When water is used for cleaning or other types of applications in any process that contains grease, oil or other types of similar contaminants, removing these contaminants before the water can be reused or disposed of is critical.

The choice of an industrial oil water separator is important for the company. It is essential to choose a system that is not only effective in capturing the oil, gas, and grease in the water, but it is also essential to find a system that can work for your capacity needs and provide reliable separation.

Precision Separation

As every type of process has specific separator requirements, look for a manufacturer offering an industrial oil water separator that can be customized to meet your needs.

This includes options in the coalescing media to allow for specific types of removal requirements and efficiency levels. In addition to being able to remove the level of oil and grease required, the system should also be designed for low maintenance and efficiency. Some systems on the market require constant cleaning and maintenance to prevent the oil and grease from clogging up the media and preventing effective separation.

What to Consider

In addition to the actual process used for the removal of the oil from the water, the industrial oil water separator should be constructed to last. Look for units that are made using stainless steel, which resists corrosion as well as damage from exposure to oil and grease.

The system should also have a reliable sludge pump, gauges for easy determination of the pressure, flow, temperature and levels in the system, as well as the necessary drums and storage tanks to make the system easy to install and use immediately.
