The presence of free, dissolved and emulsified oils can cause significant impact to the environment if they are not removed prior to wastewater discharge. Poor oil removal from raw wastewater can also have significant detrimental impact on subsequent treatment technologies such as biological treatment, membranes or deionization equipment.

There is a wide variety of oil/water separation equipment available for the pretreatment of oily industrial wastewater. When selecting an oil/water separation product, the user must first understand the application, i.e. the impact of oil on downstream treatment equipment and how each type of oil/water separator works.

Siemens Water Technologies can help you select the right oily water treatment system to meet your specific needs.
