An Oil Water Separator is a device used to treat wastewater. It removes Oils, Grease and Hydrocarbons. The wastewater can then be disposed of safely into Council Sewer or to the Environment with GPS Environmental approved systems. There are different kinds of Oil Water Separators, and most systems are available in polymer and stainless steel.

GPS Environmental has the largest range of Oil Separators. For use in wash-down bays, workshops, refuelling areas, construction sites, Mining, transformer bunds and car washes.

VGS Vertical Gravity Oil Separator

The Vertical Gravity Separator, an Oil Water Separator that removes free oil, grease and low density suspended solids from wastewater.

Designed to enhance the naturally occurring separation between oil and water. Work based on the density difference between oil, suspended solids and water.

The inlet and outlet column of the Vertical Gravity Separator form a U-tube configuration. When the oily wastewater passes through the column, the free oil and low density suspended solids are trapped. The sides of the central column, while the treated water flows out the other side.

Denser solids usually settle at the bottom, and the oil and lighter solids float to the top of the VGS. The layer of oil is then basically skimmed off and disposed, while the solid’s sediment is drained or pumped out.

The treated water can then be transferred to further downstream treatment (or discharged).
