A proven, patented method of industrial fluid reclamation extends the life of soluble oils, coolants, and water.

The PRAB Oil Separator employs a proven and patented method for the gravity separation of oil from water, achieving a concentration of less than 15 ppm. This fluid reclamation separator is designed to meet and exceed all performance requirements of U.S. Coast Guard 46 CFR 162.050 and IMO Resolution A. 393 (X) for effluent discharge, with a limit of 15 ppm free and mechanically dispersed oil in water.

PRAB Oil/Water Separator filtration technology uses a double-packed, fixed, porous-media bed for accelerated fluid reclamation, enabling a compact, lightweight unit. The system consists of an oil/water separator, a motor-driven supply pump, and a floating oil skimmer. Optional items include electrical controls, level switches, a vented lid, a clean-water discharge pump, an oil-holding tank, an oil-discharge pump, and other customer-specified controls and alarms.

Benefits and Features

  • Down-flow gravity coalescing separator
  • Reduced haul-away costs by up to 90%
  • Decreased water consumption
  • Increased life of soluble oils, coolants, washwater, rinse water, and pressure wash-down water (or process water)
  • Separates oil from water to less than 15 ppm
  • Double-packed, fixed, porous media bed
  • Compact and lightweight
  • High-quality carbon steel (304 stainless steel units available)
  • PVC oil weirs (stainless steel available)
  • Self-contained for simple operation
  • The system includes a separator, a separator supply pump (electric or air), and a floating oil skimmer

PRAB Oil Separators are perfect for fluid reclamation in the following applications:

  • Rinse Water
  • Wash Water
  • Wastewater
  • Steam cleaning operations
  • Compressor blowdown
  • Machinery pits
  • Gas stations
  • Non-contract process water
  • Refueling areas
