Roads Oil_Water Separators
Vodaland oil/water separators, also known as oil-water interceptors, are a crucial component of Canadian roadway and civil infrastructure designed to protect our natural water systems from hydrocarbon contamination. During the separation process, these units utilize high-efficiency coalescing filters and gravity to effectively isolate oil, fuel, and grease from stormwater runoff before it enters municipal sewer systems or sensitive local waterways. Specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of Canadian civil projects—from highways and bridges to maintenance yards and commercial parking facilities—Vodaland separators trap pollutants in a secure holding tank, ensuring your project meets strict provincial environmental regulations and maintains sustainable, eco-friendly operations even during heavy snowmelt or high-flow rain events. For a reliable and efficient way to treat runoff on your next development, consider Vodaland oil/water separators; contact our Canadian team today at (905) 238-1771 to learn more about our civil-grade solutions and start safeguarding our water resources.
Why would you need oil/water separators?
Oil/water separators are essential in industries and facilities that deal with large amounts of contaminated water. These separators are designed for removing oil and other pollutants from wastewater before it is discharged into the environment or municipal sewer system. This allows establishments to comply with environmental regulations and prevent oil pollution of water bodies. Oil/water separation is also important for businesses to avoid potential fines and legal liability for oil removal. In addition to environmental and legal compliance, these separators can also help companies to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment and prolong the lifespan of equipment that is sensitive to oil contamination.
How do fiberglass oil/water separators work?
A fiberglass oil/water separator is a device that separates oil and water from industrial or commercial wastewater through the use of a coalescent filter and gravity. As liquids pass through the vessel, the oil, water, and solids will begin to separate due to gravity. The oil will rise to the top of the vessel, and the solids will fall to the bottom. This will leave the remaining water in the middle to pass through our coalescent filter. This filter traps any remaining oils that have not yet separated, allowing the filtered water to pass through towards the discharge. The risen oil should then be skimmed from the top every so often.
Is fiberglass okay for underground installations?
Fiberglass is used for our separators due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and lightweights. The fiberglass vessel is designed to be used in only underground installations, so there should be no concerns on its effectiveness underground. The vessel can handle the weight of encasement around it when installed underground. The cost-effectiveness of fibreglass means that you can install one of our separators without ruining your budget. Lastly, fiberglass is lightweight, meaning that installation and transportation becomes much easier. This will cut down labour and transport costs dramatically.
What features do our separators have?
Our separators feature multiple compartments with coalescent filters in between. This maximizes the effectiveness of separation. As well, our locking valve prevents the separator from continuing operation if the oil levels get too high. Based on request, we may also have sensors available to monitor the sediment/oil levels, and a ladder for easier access to the internals. Depending on the requirements of your system, we offer a bypass option in the separator to prevent the system from back-flowing after intense rainfall or from the locking valve shutting. Lastly, our manhole covers work in combination with our separators to prevent unwanted access into the vessel.
