Oil Water Separators For Car Wash Facilities

Superior oil removal from car wash wastewater

Key wastewater challenges for the car wash industry

  • Car washes generate pollutants, including oils, greases, and detergents.
  • Poor water quality and harming aquatic ecosystems.
  • The risk of chemicals in a car wash bay entering stormwater drains.
  • The wastage of resources and excessive water usage.
  • Potential fines and clean-up costs from environmental violations.
  • Residents not wanting to use a car wash that isn’t eco-friendly.

Industry overview - managing oil in car washes

How do oil water separators work?

Step 1

Pre-treatment

The contaminated water mixture enters the oil water separator.

Step 2

Primary separation

Non-emulsified oil droplets and other chemicals rise to the surface, which are mechanically removed.

Step 3

Coalescence

The water moves into a coalescing chamber system which can separate oil from water.

Step 4

Secondary separation

The remaining free-floating oil and smaller suspended solids rise to the surface.

Step 5

Discharge

The clean water, which has undergone multiple stages of separation, exits the oil water separator system into the water flow.
