At Clenz, we endeavour to promote a sustainable environment. It is for this reason that we provide systems such as our oil water separating pits to ensure the water leaving an area is safe and clean.
Our oil water separator devices use coalescing plate separators to remove oil from waste water, capturing the oils and transporting them to an offsite drum. These devices work by pumping oily water into a chamber where solids settle out and oils immediately rise to the surface. It is then prevented from re-entering the system and is instead transported to the drum, while the waste water is released into the sewer.
Why Does This Matter? Oil should always be disposed of correctly. When using an oil water separating pit, a licensed transporter should remove oils from the offsite drum.
When oil is not separated from water and flows through to the sewerage system, it can result in major damages and blockages. When the oil combines with other chemicals that end up in sewage, the fatty acids can bind calcium and create a solidified blockage. Industrial areas produce a significant amount of oil, and whether it’s vegetable, mineral or animal, it can cause major issues in the system. Oil water separator devices prevent this from becoming a problem.
These oil water separator's design is renowned for its superior design and exceptional specifications, including:
Manufactured from Australian Standards Certified Polyethylene material
Acid and Hydrocarbons resistant, providing long service life
Lower disposal costs due to patented servicing channel on the base of the vessel
Lightweight design for ease of handling, installation and maintenance
Finite Element Analysis on vessels
Specifications
Halgan’s oil water separators for stormwater applications boast the following features:
Pumped and gravity operated unit with no moving parts, allowing for easier maintenance
Full retention separator – with or without bypass
Coalescing element – allows small, light liquid droplets to coalesce and combine into larger droplets with greater buoyancy in order to remain trapped in the separator, allowing for a quality effluent of 5mg/L or less
Hydraulically designed and engineered inlet which aids in calming and evenly dispersing the incoming wastewater while preventing fire and inflammable vapours passing through to the drainage system
The specially designed outlet allows the cleaned wastewater to exit the separator, retaining the separated sludge, oils or fuels Single or dual chamber options available, depending on required treatment, in order to retain light liquid at different inflow rates, for retaining Total Suspended Solids (TSS), sediment as sludge, Oil and Grease (O&G) and Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)
Automatic closure device capable of shutting off the separator in cases where the accumulation of light liquid reaches a predetermined threshold, to prevent light liquids exiting the separator in case of a spill (optional)
A Halgan oil and water separator works by using gravity to separate oil from water. It allows oily water to enter the chamber, where the oil, being less dense, floats to the top while the water settles at the bottom. The water is then discharged, and the separated oil is stored for proper disposal.

A Halgan oil and water separator should be cleaned regularly, typically every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage and local regulations. However, more frequent cleaning may be required if the system handles a high volume of oil-laden wastewater or experiences heavy use.
The life expectancy of a Halgan oil and water separator typically ranges from 10 to 25 years, depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions. Regular cleaning and servicing can help extend its lifespan.
