  • Reliable, unattended operation
  • Small-footprint
  • Time tested installations worldwide
  • Use of gravity flow and coalescence act as oil purifiers
  • No consumable media
  • Machining and Grinding: Water soluble, semi-synthetic and synthetic coolants
  • Primary Metals: Rolling and drawing fluids, coolants
  • Washwaters: Alkaline and acidic washwater
  • Transportation: Oily water vehicle discharge
  • Pessure Washing: Oily water discharge
  • Other Applications: Wastewater pre-treatment, marine, cooling water, quench pits

Within the tramp oil separator system, contaminated fluid flows through a series of baffles and a porous media bed where free and mechanically dispersed oils are separated from the fluid. The clarified fluid flows over the effluent discharge weir back to the reservoir for reuse.

The collected oils, bacteria, slime and inverted emulsions are collected at the top of the separator and automatically discharged from the tramp oil separator system by an adjustable weir into a tote or other container.

Various models are available to accommodate different flow rates including:

TW3
TW5
TW10
TW15
TW25
