What is a Oil-water separator?

An oil-water separator is a device used to efficiently separate oil from water in a liquid mixture. It is mainly used for treating wastewater from industries and factories that contain oil. Oil and water have different specific gravities, and separation is achieved using methods that leverage gravity or buoyancy, or through special filtration membranes. Oil-water separators are widely used in industrial facilities, refineries, machine shops, and food processing industries, playing a crucial role in environmental protection and compliance with discharge regulations. The filter or membrane installed in the device removes oil from the water, bringing the treated water to a state suitable for reuse.

Application of Oil-water separator

✅Wastewater Treatment in Factories
Factories, especially those involved in machining or metalworking, generate wastewater containing oil. Oil-water separators are used to efficiently separate the oil from the wastewater, allowing the water to be purified and reused within the facility, supporting water recycling efforts.
✅Food Processing Industry
In food factories, oil is often used for frying and cooking processes, resulting in wastewater containing oil. An oil-water separator helps remove the oil from the wastewater, ensuring the remaining water is clean and can be reused, thus minimizing environmental impact.
✅Oil Fields and Refineries
In oil fields and refineries, large amounts of oil-water mixtures are produced during extraction and refining processes. Oil-water separators are used to treat these mixtures, efficiently separating the oil for reuse and minimizing environmental contamination.
