Coalescing Plate Separators
What are coalescing plate separators?
Coalescing plate separators remove suspended fine solids, free oils, and grease from wastewater using gravity. Contaminated water is pumped into an inlet chamber where solids sink to the bottom, and oil rises to the top. The clean water is then extracted, while the contaminants remaining in the oily water mixture are removed.
Cleanawater has one of the most comprehensive ranges on the market – with capacities ranging from 1,000L to 5,000L per hour. Easily installed and maintained, a coalescing plate oil separator will help you meet – and exceed – water authority regulations. That means a cost-effective solution that guards against fines and shutdowns.

More information
How do coalescing separators work?
Coalescing media packs are positioned in two stages to force free oil droplets to impinge on surface area. Upon impingement on media packs, droplets rise to the surface and are skimmed into waste oil containers.
How do I know a coalescing system is right for my operation?
This depends on various factors, including budget, location, flow rates, and oily water properties. Call Cleanawater on 1800 849 032, and we'll be happy to advise on the best oil and water filter system for you.
Do you provide coalescing separator installation?
In most locations, yes. Call 1800 353 788 Cleanawater to confirm whether we can supply installation in your area.
Do I need anything other than a coalescing separator?
This will depend on your layout and discharge requirements. Standard coalescing plate packages include a non-emulsifying pump, float switches, waste oil drum, galvanised support frame and a control panel.
How often do coalescing oil separators require servicing?
Every 3-6 months, generally. But this depends on the amount of sludge accumulated in your process and oil dam influent levels.
What type of pumps should I use with a coalescing separator?
Non-emulsifying, low-shear pumps such as diaphragm pumps or helical rotor pumps must be used at all times.
Can they be installed outdoors?
Yes. Our coalescing separators are constructed from durable materials ideal for outdoor environments.
