Oil, fuel, sludge, and contaminated wash water can create major problems for commercial facilities if they enter the sewer system untreated. Without proper maintenance, an overloaded separator can lead to backups, environmental violations, expensive repairs, and failed inspections.

Whether you operate an automotive facility, dealership, fleet garage, or industrial property, we have the equipment and experience to keep your separator system operating properly.
An oil water separator is a specialized wastewater treatment system designed to prevent oils, fuels, grease, and automotive fluids from entering municipal sewer systems or local waterways.
Many people wonder how it is possible to separate oil and water. The answer comes down to density. Oil naturally floats while heavier solids sink. Inside the separator, oils rise to the surface, sediment settles at the bottom, and cleaner water flows through the middle before entering the drainage system.
An oil water separator tank plays an important role in protecting both sewer infrastructure and the environment. Businesses that work with vehicles, machinery, or industrial fluids commonly install these systems to prevent contamination from entering the sewer system.
Many commercial and industrial facilities rely on separator systems every day, including:
If your property handles motor oils, fuel, or vehicle fluids near floor drains, routine oil water separator maintenance is essential.
Over time, sludge, oil, grit, and debris collect inside the separator tank. As buildup increases, the system loses efficiency and may stop separating contaminants properly.
Once the separator reaches capacity, untreated wastewater can bypass the system entirely. This creates serious environmental concerns and may lead to regulatory violations or expensive cleanup costs.
