Case Study: M1 Motors
M1 Motors is an exclusive BMW workshop owned and operated by Joe Chan. M1 Motors operates from a purpose built workshop and host the essential specialist equipment worthy of a BMW Specialist. Joe aimed to install a low cost waste water treatment package capable of treating his wash water before discharging to sewer. Closest sewer was located at the workshop toilet block approximately 40 metres from the wash bay site.
We installed TS1500 series oil water solids separator package ideally suited to single pressure washer wash down bay applications. As the sewer location was a distance from the wash bay, a compact pump tank system to pump the treated wash water up to the sewer which provided Joe the flexibility he needed to install the wash bay in the most ideal location in his workshop.
How Our Oil Separators Work
Utilising Cleanawater random packed separating media technology, our oil water separators utilise a two stage separation process, ensuring that your businesses treated waste water exceeds authority standards, and is suitable for discharge.
Cleanawater TS series oil water separators are classified as coalescing type separators, where oil droplets in suspension within the moving water stream are removed by the coalescing process through the separating media.
As the droplet increases in volume it's buoyancy also increases, driving the droplet to the top of the surface. As the oil level grows on the top surface it overflows to a waste oil collection container for disposal.
Similarly, but in reverse, the solids particles impinge on the ring surfaces and lose their velocity. Gravity will draw them to the base of the oil separator unit as their particle size increases.
Upon passing through the two stage impassable path created by the packed media coalescing process, water is now treated and via the oil water separator outlet is ready for disposal.
