Oil-water separator application

Oil Water Separators for the Manufacturing Industry

Efficient wastewater treatment for lubricants, cutting fluids, process oils, and industrial wash water.

Clean wastewater in manufacturing

Manufacturing and industrial processes generate wastewater contaminated with lubricants, metalworking cutting fluids, hydraulic oils, and oily process water. Discharging these streams without treatment can breach environmental requirements, resulting in fines and operational disruptions.

Ecologix oil-water separators remove oils and solids from these waste streams, helping facilities reduce environmental impact and prepare wastewater for discharge or further treatment.

How oil-water separators safeguard industrial operations

Oil-water separators remove free and dispersed, non-emulsified oils and settleable solids from industrial wastewater. Gravity separation allows lighter oil to rise while heavier solids settle.

Ecologix systems can incorporate parallel corrugated plate coalescers that increase surface area and encourage small droplets to combine into larger, more buoyant droplets, improving separation efficiency.

Manufacturing and industrial applications

Metalworking and machining: Treat spent cutting fluids, coolants, and wash water containing tramp oils.
Power generation: Manage oily discharges from maintenance, turbine washdowns, and fuel-storage areas.
Chemical processing: Separate oils and hydrocarbons from process wastewater streams.
Heavy equipment manufacturing: Handle oily runoff from assembly, testing, and cleaning operations.
General industrial wastewater: Pretreat diverse oily effluents before municipal discharge or on-site treatment.

Benefits for industrial wastewater treatment

Regulatory compliance

Meet oil-and-grease discharge limits and help avoid penalties.

Environmental protection

Prevent contamination of water and soil while demonstrating responsible operations.

Operational efficiency

Remove oil and solids at the source to reduce maintenance on downstream equipment and sewer systems.

Cost and safety benefits

Lower oily-waste disposal costs, support water reuse where appropriate, and reduce slippery surfaces and fire hazards.
