In some locations such as power plants or older factories, there may be a need to install a larger oil water separator in a constrained space. There may be room for the separator, but the entrance to the separator area may be a maze of twisted steps and narrow hallways.  If this is the case, we have the ability to custom engineer an oil water separator that can be built in place, piece-by-piece.

Constrained Location Oil Water Separator
Our Built In Place Oil Water Separators are designed for those constrained locations that seem impossible. Wash Bay Solutions provides an advanced solution for this very need.

Applications include:

  • Power Plants
  • Refineries
  • Factories
  • Industrial plants

Available in a range of dimensions and flow rates, these separators can be constructed of stainless steel or carbon steel that corrosion protection applied at the factory.

To ensure each piece will be made to accommodate the facility, we will prepare detailed sub-assembly drawings for your approval prior to starting construction. Then, detailed construction drawings and instructions will be provided for onsite installation.

Like all of our separators, these constrained space oil/water separators will remove 99.9% of free and dispersed non-emulsified oil droplets in the waste stream.

Benefits

  • Removes free oil droplets as small as 20 microns
  • Reduces effluent free oil concentration to 10 ppm or less
  • High flow rates in a compact design
  • Low maintenance costs
  • Solids storage capability

All of our systems are constructed of heavy-duty components for maximum life and performance.  They can be customized with hoppers or oil storage compartments and a variety of skimming, monitoring, and pumping packages.

Are you washing with dirty water?

Many industries have parts washing systems that are critical to their production. Often used on a continuous basis, they remove heavy oils, dry lubes and machining particles off production parts. Many of these wash systems require constant cleaning and filtration to not to re-contaminate the parts. 

Our oil water separator systems will remove 99.9% of free and dispersed non-emulsified oil droplets in the wash water  – greatly improving the quality of the cleaning water and extending the time before having to dump and re-charge. They will also help drop out particles from the wash water.

Available in a range of dimensions and flow rates, our oil water separators can be can be integrated easily with the existing parts washing systems and customized with a variety of skimming, monitoring, and pumping packages.  All of our systems are constructed of stainless steel and heavy-duty components for maximum life and performance. 

Benefits

  • 99% Removal of all free oil
  • Small foot-print – compact design
  • Low maintenance costs
  • Solids storage capability
  • Easily integrated into existing systems

Clarifier Oil Water Separator in Mexico
The clarifier oil water separator used for the mining company in central Mexico.

Problem: A gold mine in central Mexico was modifying their vehicle maintenance facility and adding a wash bay for their heavy mining trucks and vehicles covered with solids, dirt, oil, and grease. The mining company contacted an engineering firm in Arizona who then contacted us for our wash bay expertise.

Solution: We worked with the engineering firm to help design the wash bay with the proper pad layout to accommodate the enormous vehicles, substantial wash water volumes and large amounts of solids. We also had to account for rainwater volumes since their wash bay was uncovered.

Our SPT-50 Clarifier Oil Water Separator System was a perfect fit since it was designed for treating wash water from industrial washing operations with large solids concentrations. It includes a stainless steel clarifier oil water separator that has both a clarifier section, which will remove all settable solids and an oil water separator section, which will remove all non-emulsified oil from the waste stream.

During construction of the wash pad and installation of the SPT-50, we continued to work with the engineering company so insure all tasks were completed properly. We provided all manuals and documentation in both Spanish and English so that as little information as possible was lost in translation. The client has reported that the SPT-50 has been working very well since installation.

DM 1000 Demucker
Featuring the DM 1000 Demucker (Low Flow Water Cannons) used by a Canadian worker washing huge mining trucks.

Problem: A mining company in western Canada was using a traditional 150-200 GPM @ 200 psi water cannon system to wash large mining trucks and loaders.

Because of the size of the vehicles, which can measure over 40 feet long and 12 feet high, the average wash time was lasting one to two hours in normal weather conditions, and 10-12 hours in winter conditions. That is a water volume of between 9,000 and 140,000 gallons per vehicle!

The company called Wash Bay Solutions seeking a solution that would save them both labor and water while at the same time providing a quality wash.

Solution: For testing purposes, we rented them our revolutionary DM 1000 demucker, which provides 20 GPM @ 1000 PSI of cold, fresh or recycled wash water.

The testing only lasted a short time. Within days, they determined that it worked perfectly for them – cleaning their large trucks quickly and effectively, and using about 1/10 of the amount of water used in their traditional water cannons.

Results: The client remains very happy with the demucker efficiency and ease of use, and the fact that it saves them time and water in an environmentally effective way.

Understanding the rigorous demands and often unique solutions needed to maintain the highest level of military and government readiness is a key component of our government operations. We believe that our wash water reclaim systems, oil water separators and pressure washers will provide the “Best Value for the Government” for the following reasons:

Heavy-Duty Construction: Since our systems are built for rigorous military operations, their construction is extremely heavy-duty. These systems will operate for years in the harshest environments.

Low Maintenance: Our equipment is designed to be both simple and sturdy. Most systems also have few moving parts so we rarely have issues with them.

Our revolutionary demucking/recycle systems only use 20 gpm of recycled water to effectively remove heavy accumulations of dirt, sand, and mud. Compared to other “water cannon” systems on the market at 150 gpm, the DM-1000 has the potential to save you hundreds of thousands of gallons of water per year!

In many cases, a below ground oil water separator is the best option due to space restrictions and layout. You can use gravity to drain into a below ground system and then into the sanitary sewer system so there is no need for pumps and controls. In other cases, a below ground system has been previously specified and it is not possible to change the specifications.
