RM-10 / OSU Chemical Treatment System

Baldwin Industrial Systems’ RM-10 Oil Separation Unit (OSU) provides a complete, automated solution for the chemical treatment, disinfection and oil separation of wastewater containing oils, greases, suspended solids, surfactants and heavy metals.

Used across Australia for over 20 years, the RM-10 combines bentonite-based chemical treatment with oil separation in a single, highly efficient process.

Integrated chemical treatment and separation.

The Baldwin RM-10 is a one-step treatment system designed for the disinfection and chemical treatment of contaminated industrial wastewater.

Using bentonite-clay-based chemicals, the RM-10 binds contaminants into a dry, disposable sludge suitable for compliant disposal.

Each unit functions as an Oil Separation Unit (OSU) and can be customised for compressor stations, wash bays and industrial facilities.

Chemical binding. Separation. Automated compliance.

1. Chemical Addition – Bentonite-based treatment chemicals bind oils, greases, suspended solids, surfactants and dissolved metals.
   
2. Separation Stage – Bound contaminants form a dense sludge that separates from treated water.
   
3. Sludge Handling – The process produces a dry, easily disposable solid.
4. Integrated Oil Separation – Oils and greases are removed automatically within the treatment stage.
5. Automated Operation – PLC control allows continuous operation with minimal operator involvement.

Efficient oil and waste removal for industrial applications.

An Oil Separation Unit removes oils and waste from process water, simplifying disposal and reducing environmental risk.

In the RM-10, oil separation occurs automatically during treatment, eliminating contaminants before discharge.

Proven performance across the Australian industry.

For more than 20 years, the RM-10 has treated wastewater from:

• Paint wash water
  
• Compressor wastewater
  
• Mining wash bays
  
• Metal component manufacturing
• Food processing
• Other industrial waste streams

These applications span key sectors including gas production, manufacturing, mining and food processing, where the RM-10’s bentonite media effectively binds contaminants into a manageable, disposable sludge.

Continuous operation with minimal supervision.

• Operates 24 hours a day
• Processes up to 12,000 L/hr ,depending on configuration
