Key Benefits
Coalescing plate oil-water separators provide significant benefits for petrol stations, particularly in managing oil-contaminated runoff. One of their key advantages is the efficient removal of oil from the runoff. Separators use a series of plates to facilitate the coalescence of small oil droplets into larger ones, which are then effectively removed from the water. This process ensures the water is adequately cleaned, reducing the risk of oil-related contamination.
Another significant benefit is compliance with environmental regulations. Petrol stations are required to meet stringent standards regarding wastewater discharge, and coalescing plate separators help achieve this by ensuring that oil levels in the treated water are within permissible limits.
Finally, by effectively treating wastewater, coalescing plate separators help prevent environmental pollution, protecting treatment plants and local water sources as well as supporting responsible environmental management.
Relevant Applications
Coalescing plate oil-water separators are crucial for petrol stations in managing oil-contaminated runoff, such as spills and leaks from fuels and lubricants. These separators use plates to merge oil droplets, making them easier to remove from water, ensuring that wastewater meets regulatory standards and preventing harmful environmental contamination.
Coalescing plate oil-water separators are used for treating the water from the under-canopy area of Retail Fuel Outlets, prior to the water flowing to the trade waste system. The small above-ground separators allow for easier maintenance than other possible solutions, guarantee performance and use a Baldwin control system that is specifically designed for Retail Fuel Outlets.
In petrol station applications that require a Class 1 separator for the under canopy area, allowing water to flow to the stormwater system, Baldwin has a suitable equipment package to offer. The equipment, when combined with a suitably sized collection tank, is a cost-effective option compared to other approaches in the market.
By using above-ground oil-water separators, petrol stations enhance operational efficiency and reduce maintenance costs by protecting equipment from oil damage. Additionally, these separators contribute to safety by reducing slip hazards and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
