- Optional carbon steel frame: Choose between stainless or A-36 carbon steel to fit your site needs
03
PERFORMANCE
- Typical 10 ppm discharge: Designed to handle oil droplets down to 30 microns
- Handles broad hydrocarbon range: From crude oil to jet fuel, machining oils, and vegetable-based fluids
04
CONFIGURABILITY
- Modular layout: Configure components to match gravity, flow, and contaminant specifics
- Cost-efficient stainless upgrade: Swapping internals enables high-grade builds without high-grade pricing
WHY STAINLESS COALESCING OWS MATTERS
Built for serious industrial runoff, this unit gives you rugged performance and broad contaminant handling — without waiting months or sacrificing cost. If you’ve got fuel, oil, or BTEX in your water, this thing means business.
The Challenge: Oil-Laden Industrial Wastewater
The Stainless Steel Series steel coalescing Oil Water Separators (OWS)are designed for applications where a rugged high performance coalescing oil water separator design is desired using coalescing media. This industrial duty #SSC/OWS/EX design has many features such as solids V-hopper, adjustable water weir, integral inlet diffuser, A-36 carbon steel or stainless steel construction and many options to provide engineers, system integrators and end users with convenience and flexibility in oil separator system configuration choices. Typical performance is 10 ppm or less, 30 micron oil droplet.
The Solution: Affordable Stainless Options
These SkimSep stainless steel oil water separators (OWS) can be built to your spec requirements using either #304 or #316 stainless steel. We’re able to actually build these for about the same cost as mild steel, by changing the internals……the only thing you have to give up is oil storage.
Products removed: motor oils, fuels (vehicle/jet), fuel oils, hydraulic fluids, immiscible machining oils, lube oil, transmission fluid, bunker c, DNAPL, LNAPL, vegetable based oils, crude, air compressor lube & other hydrocarbon based derivatives (BTEX etc.). Model sizing is based on the oil/fuel specific gravity, droplet size removal desired and other parameters of the waste stream
Frequently Asked Questions
