Advanced oil water separators for effective hydrocarbon removal in industrial and commercial wastewater treatment throughout Australia.

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

Key Product Types

GPS Coalescing Oil Water Separators:
- Maximise hydrocarbon removal while maintaining simplicity
- Leverage coalescing media for enhanced performance
- Improve water quality for sewer discharge or further on-site treatment
Vertical Gravity Oil Separator (VGS):
- Robust, engineered gravity separation system for industrial environments
- Controls flow to optimise separation of oil, solids, and water
- Oil skimmed from the surface, sediment drained from the bottom
GPS-ET™ FR-4 OWS Full Retention Separator:
- Treats full stormwater design flow for high-risk sites (petrol stations, transport depots, etc)
- Handles daily trade waste and full-scale fuel/oil spills
- Essential for environmental compliance in stormwater management
