Oil water separators (OWS) are a vital part of protecting the environment from hydrocarbon releases. Although typically out of sight and mind, they quietly do their part when properly maintained. The coalescing media is the essential element for attaining acceptable oil discharge limits. However, the coalescing media is also most susceptible to solids obstructing proper oil separation. When solids and hydrocarbons are not removed regularly, they can cause unwanted sludge buildup in the system and poor effluent characteristics.
