Oil Water Separators for the Automotive & Transportation Industry

The Challenge of Oily Wastewater in Automotive Operations

The automotive and transportation industry, encompassing everything from car washes and vehicle maintenance centers to specialized repair shops, face a unique challenge: the constant generation of oily wastewater. Daily operations involving the use of various petroleum-based products, including gasoline, diesel, motor oils, lubricants, and hydraulic fluids mixed with water creates oily effluents. The hazardous effluent that cannot be discharged without proper treatment.

This oily wastewater poses significant environmental risks and potential non-compliance with local and federal environmental regulations. Fines can be severe, making proper wastewater management not just an environmental responsibility, but a critical business imperative.

• Car Washes: Treating wash water contaminated with soap, grime, and vehicle fluids.
• Vehicle Maintenance Facilities: Handling runoff from engine cleaning, oil changes, and general workshop spills.
