WE ARE OWS EXPERTS
In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly important, re-use and recycling are becoming a focus for businesses. An oil water separator can greatly reduce water usage, having both economical and environmental benefits by reducing water usage costs and creating less waste byproduct from wash pads, wash bays and commercial cleaning applications.
The oil / water separator is the system that processes materials collected by track pans beneath parked locomotives or from other spillage and run-off collection systems. Oil, fuel, sand and other materials flow from the track pans’ lateral drains through the inlet pipe into the separator tank. Once in the tank, oil and petroleum material floats to the top. Sand, dirt, debris, salt, rocks, wood and other materials filter to the bottom of the tank. The water separates the oil and materials, allowing for easy collection and disposal.
Periodically, as the tank fills up, the oil and other materials must be cleaned out and collected and the water must be replaced as part of the normal maintenance of the system. Cordei's Professional services perform oil water separator cleaning service, to include:
- Pump out liquid from the separator tank
- Clean out sludge and solids from bottom with hi-rail vacuum trucks
- Rinse out filter packs and clean baffle systems
- Jet the lines coming into separator using a pressure washer with jetter chip
- Reassemble and recharge the system
- Dispose of waste materials in accordance with state and federal regulations
