Oil & Wastewater Treatment for Petrol Stations

Petrol stations face ongoing challenges in managing wastewater contaminated with oil, fuel, and other hydrocarbons. Vehicle movement, fuel dispensing, and routine maintenance create the risk of spills and runoff that, if left untreated, can harm the environment and violate regulations.

Coalescing plate oil-water separators efficiently remove oil from wastewater, ensuring compliance with strict environmental standards. These systems allow petrol stations to reduce pollution risks, prevent costly fines, and operate sustainably by ensuring that water discharged into trade waste or stormwater systems meets regulatory requirements.

Key Benefits

Petrol stations must have effective wastewater treatment solutions to handle oil-contaminated runoff. Coalescing plate oil-water separators offer:

  • Reliable Oil Removal – Captures and separates fuel and hydrocarbons from water runoff.
  • Regulatory Compliance – Meets industry standards for wastewater discharge, protecting against environmental violations.
  • Sustainability & Cost Savings – Reduces waste, minimises water pollution, and can contribute to water recycling.
  • Improved Safety & Maintenance – Prevents slip hazards, protects infrastructure, and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

With the right treatment system, petrol stations can operate safely, reduce environmental impact, and ensure compliance with wastewater regulations.

Relevant Applications

Petrol stations require efficient oil-water separation to handle runoff from vehicle activity, fuel spills, and maintenance tasks. Coalescing plate oil-water separators play a vital role in:

  • Treating wastewater from under-canopy areas before it enters trade waste systems.
  • Removing hydrocarbons from stormwater runoff to meet Class 1 separator requirements.
  • Ensuring compliance with environmental discharge regulations.
  • Reducing maintenance costs by using compact, above-ground systems that are easy to service.
