Oil Treatment

Effective Oil Separation for Clean, Compliant Wastewater

Oil contamination in water systems presents significant challenges for industries that rely on clean and efficient wastewater management. Excess oil and hydrocarbons in water can lead to equipment fouling, environmental hazards, regulatory violations, and increased maintenance costs. Without proper treatment, oil-laden wastewater can disrupt operations and pose risks to both infrastructure and the environment.

ETI provides advanced oil treatment solutions that efficiently separate and remove oil contaminants from wastewater. Our solutions are designed to help water treatment companies meet discharge regulations, protect critical equipment, and improve overall water quality. With custom formulations available, ETI ensures that each oil treatment program is tailored to the specific needs of a water treater and their client’s facility.

The Importance of Oil Treatment in Wastewater Management

Industries dealing with oil contamination must implement effective separation technologies to maintain system efficiency and regulatory compliance. The presence of oil in water can cause:

  • Equipment fouling and reduced heat transfer efficiency in cooling and boiler systems.

  • Increased maintenance and downtime due to oil buildup in piping and treatment infrastructure.

  • Regulatory non-compliance and fines for exceeding oil and grease discharge limits.

  • Environmental pollution risks affecting local water sources and ecosystems.

By integrating ETI’s oil treatment solutions, facilities can optimize wastewater treatment performance, reduce environmental impact, and extend the lifespan of their equipment.

ETI’s Oil Treatment Solutions

ETI provides a range of chemical and mechanical oil separation technologies designed to handle various levels of oil contamination in wastewater.

Oil-Water Separation Agents

  • Breaks down and disperses oil for easy removal from water.

  • Reduces oil carryover in industrial wastewater treatment systems.

  • Helps maintain system efficiency and prevents sludge buildup.

Emulsion Breakers

  • Effectively separates emulsified oil from water, preventing fouling of downstream treatment processes.

  • Designed for use in refineries, petrochemical plants, and metalworking operations.

  • Improves efficiency in dissolved air flotation (DAF) and gravity separation systems.

Coagulation & Flocculation Treatments

  • Enhances the agglomeration of oil particles for easier removal.

  • Supports sedimentation and filtration processes in wastewater treatment.

  • Ideal for treating high-volume industrial effluent.

Hydrocarbon Absorbents & Filtration Media

  • Captures free and dispersed oil from water.

  • Reduces oil loading in effluent streams, protecting treatment system components.

  • Used in oil-water separators, polishing filters, and secondary treatment stages.

By combining chemical and physical oil removal methods, ETI provides a comprehensive solution for effective oil separation in industrial wastewater treatment.
