Our Oil Water Separators have patented three and four compartment designs that offer unique advantages over all other oil water separators. Separate oil and clean water sumps in the vessel allow each phase to be handled independently of the other - automatically - without the need for adjustable skimmers or electric interface detection. Additionally, either sump can be arranged for gravity flow or automatic pump discharge.
The relationship between the Oil Spillover Baffle and the Water Transfer Pipe allow the vessel to hydraulically "lock-up" in the event of a catastrophic spill, insuring that nothing but clean water will be discharged to the environment.
An additional compartment can be added to any vessel, serving as a solids knock-out / catch basin. Segregated, with a partial baffle, with a "trash screen" at the top. The compartment allows additional volume and settling time for solids drop out, and prevents debris from traveling through the vessel. This feature not only reduces maintenance, but also results in improved effluent quality.
