Underground Oil Water Separator for Truck Wash Bays

The Unique Wastewater Challenges of Truck Wash Bays

Truck wash bays used for maintaining commercial fleets generate a significant volume of wastewater heavily contaminated with a mix of pollutants. This includes dirt, grit, mud, road grime, and, crucially, various oils and greases from vehicle engines, transmissions, and hydraulic systems, as well as fuel residues.

Discharging this untreated oily wastewater directly into municipal sewer systems or the environment is strictly prohibited by environmental regulations. It can lead to severe blockages, harm wastewater treatment infrastructure, and cause significant ecological damage. An effective and reliable solution for separating oil and solids from truck wash bay wastewater are our below ground oil water separators (OWS).

Why Underground Oil Water Separators are Ideal

Underground oil water separators (OWS) offer distinct advantages that make them the preferred choice for truck wash bay applications:

• Space Optimization: Below grade installations free up valuable surface real estate.
• Protection from Elements & Damage: Buried beneath the surface, the system is protected from harsh weather conditions, accidental damage from heavy vehicle traffic, and vandalism, ensuring a longer operational lifespan and reduced maintenance.
• Aesthetics & Noise Reduction: Underground installations are discreet and do not detract from the visual appeal of the facility. They also help to contain any operational noise or odors.
• Gravity Flow Efficiency: Often, underground systems can be integrated seamlessly with existing drainage infrastructure, leveraging gravity for efficient wastewater flow and reducing the need for additional pumping.
• Consistent Performance: Stable ground temperatures help maintain consistent operating conditions for the separation process.
