Oil/Water Separation Solutions
Managing oily water is a critical challenge across many industrial environments. Drizit’s oil/water skimmers and separators are designed to efficiently remove hydrocarbons from water, helping organisations prevent pollution, remain compliant, and protect surrounding ecosystems.
With over 50 years of experience in pollution control and environmental services, Drizit supplies, manufactures, and supports robust oil/water separation solutions that perform reliably in demanding real-world conditions on land, at sea, and across heavy industry.
Why Oil/Water Separation Matters
Oil-contaminated water can originate from many sources, including:
Process runoff
Wash bays and workshops
Stormwater systems
Tank farms and depots
Marine bilge and ballast water
Industrial cleaning operations
If not properly treated, oily water can:
Drizit’s oil/water skimmers and separators provide a practical, proven way to manage these risks.
Pollute soil, groundwater, rivers, & marine environments
Lead to regulatory non-compliance & fines
Damage infrastructure & downstream treatment systems
Harm wildlife & sensitive ecosystems
Oil Skimmers
Oil skimmers are designed to selectively remove oil and hydrocarbons from the surface of water without removing excessive amounts of water. Drizit supplies a range of skimmer technologies suited to different applications and oil types.
Skimmer Solutions Available
- Rope mop skimmers
Effective for viscous oils and continuous recovery
- Tube oil skimmers
Compact and efficient for sumps, pits, and tanks
- Weir skimmers
Ideal for lighter oils and controlled flow environments
- Low-volume skimmers
Compact and efficient for sumps, pits, and tanks
Typical Applications
- Sumps and pits
- Effluent ponds and dams
- Wash bays and workshops
- Marine bilge and ballast systems
- Wash bays and workshops
Skimmers can be deployed as standalone units or integrated into broader treatment systems.
separation systems
Oil/Water Separators
Oil/water separators are engineered systems that separate oil and suspended hydrocarbons from water before discharge, reuse, or further treatment. Drizit supplies and manufactures separators designed to meet industrial and environmental compliance requirements.
Separator Solutions
- Underground oil/water separators
- Above-ground separator systems
- Custom-built separators for site-specific requirements
These systems use gravity separation, coalescing media, and engineered flow control to ensure efficient hydrocarbon removal.
Typical Applications
- Stormwater runoff from industrial sites
- Vehicle wash bays
- Fuel depots and tank farms
- Mining and processing facilities
- Manufacturing plants
- Ports and marine facilities
industrial durability
