OLD SCHOOL OIL-WATER SEPARATOR (OWS)

This old-school system is a member of the "silent" generation. It sports the least effective separation technology and is easily forgotten. An underground tank with an inlet, outlet and nothing in between. If not regularly cleaned, oil and contaminated solids go down the sewer (translation: oil pollution)

PARALLEL COALESCER OWSThe oily water passes through the coalescers (corrugated plates). This causes the oil to coalesce into sheets. These oil globs then rise to the top layer - separation!

How It Works

Rice Oil Sucks Oil Water Sludge Separator Rice Oil and Environmental Akron.jpg

FREE ESTIMATE

Our oil-water separator cleaning process starts with a FREE ESTIMATE. We get out the "sludge judge" and inspect your OWS system. We measure the oil, water and sludge. We take a grab-sample for the lab to test and produce documented proof the sludge is non-hazardous.

Next, you get an estimate. Since we've inspected and measured your system, assuming we complete the service within 14 days, we stick by our estimate. Guaranteed. No hidden fees. No B.S.

As grandpa used to say, "measure twice, cut once."

Once you've OK'd our estimate, we'll pick the service day & time (promise window) that works best for your operations. We'll call you the day before to make sure you're all set for us to arrive next day.

  • Our crew will show up within the promise window. For safety & speed, we work in two-person crews

  • During service, we'll inspect your tank walls and inlet and outlet pipes. Before we close the system, we'll ask you to inspect the job with us and review operating best practices until the next service.
