OIL Water Separators and Wastewater Treatment Systems

Oil/Water Separators

Highland Oil/Water Separators are designed for the removal of free-floating oil, grease, and settleable oily coated solids from oil/water mixtures associated with many types of Industry.

The separators can be installed below or above grade to help facilities comply with tough spill and discharge regulations and the ability to produce effluent with less than 10 mg/l of free oil.

Highland has the first complete line of Oil/Water Separators constructed to the UL-SU2215 specifications. These high performance units are custom fabricated to meet and exceed the strict construction and performance criteria established by Underwriters’ Laboratories to be labeled UL-2215. Single-walled and double-walled construction with a variety influent and effluent product handling options is available.

New CORELLA™ “self-cleaning” design performs better than traditional plate coalescers.

All Highland separators are equipped with our patented Corella® coalescers that combine the features of both a flat plate coalescer and a corrugated plate coalescer into a new “self-cleaning” design that performs better than traditional plate separators. Corella® accelerates the separation process and greatly reduces the level of oil and oily coated solids discharged into municipal sewer systems.

Grease Interceptors

Automatic Grease Interceptors
Lowe Engineering Model AGI Automatic Grease Interceptors are designed to intercept and remove large quantities of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) discharged from food service facilities and large commercial/institutional kitchens, which might interfere with the proper drainage and treatment of municipal wastewater. Lowe Automatic Grease Interceptors range in size from relatively small units, allowing installation in a kitchen under a sink or other limited space to large higher volume units. AGI’s incorporate an electrically powered grease-skimming device. During operation, the grease is separated by gravity floatation where it can be skimmed off the top surface of the water on a time or event controlled basis. The skimmed grease is collected in a waste disposal container for disposal or recycling.		http://www.oil-in-water.net/images/grease/small-agi.jpghttp://www.oil-in-water.net/images/grease/large-agi_small.jpg Large GreaseStopper AGI

Passive Grease Interceptors

Highland Passive Grease Interceptors (PGI) help restaurant owners comply with the EPA’s Sewer Pretreatment Regulations. These gravity grease interceptors are designed to intercept and collect large quantities of sewer clogging fats, oil, and grease (FOG) and solid food waste discharged from large commercial or institutional kitchens. Highland grease interceptors prevent the discharge of FOG into the sanitary sewer system and aid in the prevention of sanitary sewer blockages to protect the sewer system from sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). Highland PGI, with their advanced “diffusion and switchback baffling system”, retain wastewater long enough to allow liquefied grease to cool down, separate, and congeal and allow for solid material to settle. They are available in large volumes to accommodate specified retention times, even 30 minutes or greater. Aboveground rectangular or cylindrical interceptors and made-to-order designs are available so that you can customize volumes, compartments, inlets, outlets, or baffles to satisfy specific code requirements. Custom Sampling Ports are also available to aid in monitoring gravity discharge quality.
