What are Coalescing Plate Oil Water Separators?

Coalescing plate oil water separator units are tools designed to perform oil and water separation, as well as the capture of other contaminants from wastewater in a simple yet efficient manner. Before being discharged, filtered wastewater is put through oil-water separators within chambers to separate toxins within it such as oil and sludge.

Our coalescing plate oil water separator units are designed to be simple yet efficient tools that perform oil and water separation, as well as the capture of other contaminants from wastewater.

As we move towards, a greener and more sustainable future, there is a greater demand for equipment such as oil and water separators, to help separate toxins while making wastewater safe to discharge.

It’s worth noting that oil separators are no longer limited to industrial uses in mines, petrol stations, and treatment plants, with a wider variety of industries embracing their uses.

What Advantages do Baldwin’s Oil Water Separators Include?

Baldwin oil and water separators have numerous advantages which make them the preferred choice across our diverse customer base. No matter the context or size of your application – here are some key reasons why you should choose our oil and water separators:

  • They provide a scientifically proven method for removing and recycling oil cost-effectively
  • They are versatile and customisable (catering to a broad range of water quality limits depending on the application)
  • They are sturdy, reliable, and require minimal maintenance

 

Having decades of experience within the industry, we know that the coalescing plates found within the separator play an important part in oil separation, carrying out the bulk of the oil and water segregation. For this reason it is critical to choose an oil and water separator system that is based on a scientifically proven performance calculation and a known plate surface area.

 

What is the environmental impact of using a bad oil-water coalescing plate?

The importance of using the right oil-water separators is essential for preventing harm to the environment, as it only takes one litre of oil to pollute 1 million litres of water! By not utilising the right oil-water coalescing plate and risking oil being discharged with the water, the following environmental risks can apply:

  • Harming ecosystems
  • Contaminating drinking water
  • Disruption of food chains

 

Why are oil-water separators important for your company?

An oil-water separator not only can make the process of separating water from oil simpler than ever, they are essential for ensuring your company does not harm the environment and allows it to remain compliant with environmental regulations and in turn, avoid issues with water and environmental authorities. As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, it’s imperative that your company does so as well!

Do I need an oil water separator?

Our oil water separator units are used by companies of all sizes, from mechanical workshops and service stations to petrol refineries and power stations. Contact us to discuss your options.

How do coalescing separators work?

Coalescing plate separator packs are positioned in two stages to encourage free oil droplets to impinge on the surface. Droplets rise to the top as they come into contact with the media packs and are skimmed off into a waste oil container.

How do I know if a coalescing system is right for my operation?

This is dependent on a number of variables, including budget, location, flow rates, and the composition of oily water. Get in touch with us at (02) 4954 0440 and we will advise on the best coalescing system for you.

Do you provide coalescing separator installation?

Baldwin fabricates stainless steel seperators that are ready to transport to the site for ease of installation and integration into a wider treatment system. Get in touch with us at (02) 4954 0440 to confirm whether we can supply installation in your area.

How often do coalescing oil separators require servicing?

In most cases, it’s every 3-6 months. However, this is dependent on the amount of sludge that has been collected in your process as well as the degree of oil influent levels.

What are the advantages of Baldwin Coalescing Plate Separators?

  • Each system is individually designed for each application based on proven design principles and is guaranteed to meet the stringent new discharge laws being imposed by local authorities.
