Oil & Wastewater Treatment for Power Stations

Power stations, including hydropower, coal, and gas-fired plants, generate oil-contaminated wastewater during cooling, equipment maintenance, and cleaning processes. This wastewater must be treated to remove oil, lubricants, and hydrocarbons before discharge or reuse to ensure environmental compliance.

Coalescing plate oil-water separators provide an efficient and cost-effective solution for power stations, using parallel plates to separate oil from water, ensuring treated water meets strict discharge regulations or can be recycled for reuse within operations.

Key Benefits

Coalescing plate oil-water separators provide power stations with efficient wastewater treatment, ensuring compliance and sustainability.

Key benefits include:

  • Effective Oil Removal – Separates oil, lubricants, and hydrocarbons from wastewater, ensuring clean water discharge.
  • Regulatory Compliance – Helps power stations meet strict environmental discharge regulations.
  • Water Recycling – Enables reuse of treated water in cooling systems and maintenance processes, reducing freshwater consumption.
  • Cost-Effective & Low Maintenance – Reduces operational costs by protecting infrastructure and preventing blockages.
  • Supports Sustainability – Minimises environmental impact by reducing pollutants in wastewater.

Power stations can optimise wastewater management while maintaining environmental responsibility by implementing high-efficiency oil-water separation.

Relevant Applications

Coalescing plate oil-water separators are essential in power stations to manage oil-contaminated wastewater.

They are used in:

  • Equipment Maintenance & Cleaning – Separates oil from wastewater during routine machinery servicing.
  • Cooling System Maintenance – Removes oil from cooling tower blowdown and system cleaning processes.
  • Turbine & Generator Operations – Ensures compliance by treating oily runoff from high-use mechanical components.
  • Fuel & Lubricant Storage Areas – Prevents environmental contamination from leaks and spills.

These applications help power stations comply with discharge regulations, reduce pollution risks, and improve wastewater efficiency.
