Oil-water separator (OWS) is an equipment made of C35/45 XF4 reinforced concrete with a protective 3-layer polyurethane coating to secure perfect and trouble-free maintenance, to increase concrete resistance against oil and to safeguard zero concrete absorption. The oil-water separator is equipped with automatic outlet shut-off. OWS is used to separate free oil from waste water and rain water. Unless regular checks and maintenance is carried out on the equipment, long-term functionality will not be effective. Each equipment is made using parameters as set by EN 858-1,2 and with safety factor 10, which under current climatic conditions means increased protection against overflow and potential leaks of content into the area via inlet stacks and lids. Such an occurrence is quite frequent with undersized equipment where basic required parameters are not met, such as effective volume, minimum separator area, sludge box and retaining time.
