The Compact Oil Separator is a space-saving oil and water separation system specially designed for light vehicle wash bays, mechanical workshops, small car and vehicle workshops, car wash areas, and engine wash facilities. It is designed to separate mineral oil, hydrocarbons, oil residues and suspended solids from wastewater before the water flows into the downstream drainage system.

Constructed from 304 Stainless Steel, the Compact Oil Separator provides a durable, corrosion-resistant and compact solution for sites with limited installation space. Its gravity-based separation process allows oil and lighter contaminants to separate from wastewater while heavier sediment settles within the system.

HHC Industries supplies and installs Compact Oil Separators throughout West Malaysia, providing solutions for automotive workshops, car wash operators, vehicle service centres and other commercial facilities generating oil-contaminated wastewater.

⚙️ How the Compact Oil Separator Works

Oil-contaminated wastewater enters the Compact Oil Separator, where the wastewater flow is slowed down to encourage natural gravity separation.

The separation process allows:

• Heavier dirt and sediment to settle at the bottom.
• Mineral oil and lighter hydrocarbons to rise to the surface.
• Internal separation chambers to retain separated oil and contaminants.
• Separated oil and accumulated sediment to be removed during maintenance.
• Water to continue through the outlet for downstream drainage or further treatment.

This makes the Compact Oil Separator a practical solution for car wash and workshop wastewater containing oil, dirt and suspended solids.

🔧 Compact Oil Separator for Car Wash

The Compact Oil Separator is suitable for car wash wastewater applications, where wastewater may contain:

• Mineral oil
• Oil residues
• Hydrocarbons
• Dirt
• Sand
• Suspended solids
• Vehicle contaminants

Its compact construction makes it suitable for small and medium-sized car wash areas where installation space is limited.

🔩 Compact Oil Separator for Mechanical Workshop

Mechanical and automotive workshops can generate wastewater containing oil, lubricants, dirt and sediment.

The Compact Oil Separator provides an initial oil-water separation stage to help reduce the amount of oil and contaminants entering the downstream drainage system.

Suitable applications include:

• Mechanical workshops
• Automotive repair workshops
• Small vehicle workshops
• Engine wash areas
• Vehicle service centres
• Motorcycle workshops

🛠️ Maintenance

Regular maintenance is recommended to maintain effective separation performance.

Maintenance may include:

• Inspection of oil accumulation
• Removal of separated oil
• Removal of accumulated sediment
• Cleaning of internal chambers
• Inspection of inlet and outlet connections
• Checking internal components
• Cleaning of the separator

Maintenance frequency depends on flow rate, oil loading, sediment loading and site operating conditions.
