Oil Water Separation
Recover valuable fluids. Eliminate contaminants. Protect the environment. K Factor oil water separators are engineered for reliable, compliant operation across every industrial sector.
OWS Series
OWS Series
Gravity Oil Water Separator
The OWS Series is K Factor's gravity-based oil water separator — engineered for reliable, continuous separation of free and dispersed oils from industrial wastewater. API-compliant design with automatic oil skimming ensures consistent effluent quality with minimal operator intervention.
- Gravity-based separation — no chemicals required
- API-compliant design meets discharge regulations
- Automatic oil skimming and collection
- Handles free, dispersed, and mechanically emulsified oils
- Low maintenance with robust carbon steel construction
Coalescing Plate Separator
Coalescing Plate Separator
High-Efficiency Plate Pack Design
The Coalescing Plate Separator uses corrugated plate packs to dramatically increase separation surface area, accelerating oil droplet coalescence in a compact footprint. Achieves effluent oil concentrations below 10 ppm — ideal for applications requiring stringent discharge compliance.
- Corrugated plate packs maximize coalescence surface
- Effluent quality consistently below 10 ppm oil
- Up to 70% smaller footprint than conventional gravity separators
- Handles emulsified oils other separators miss
- Easy plate removal for cleaning and maintenance
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)
Advanced Flotation Separation
K Factor's DAF systems use micro-bubble technology to float emulsified oils, suspended solids, and fine particles to the surface for skimming. Integrated chemical dosing and flocculation stages enable removal rates exceeding 95% — the solution when gravity alone isn't enough.
- Micro-bubble generation lifts emulsified oils and fine solids
- Oil and TSS removal rates exceeding 95%
- Integrated chemical dosing and flocculation
- Handles the most challenging wastewater streams
- Compact, skid-mounted configurations available
Skimmer Systems
Skimmer Systems
Automatic Oil Recovery Units
K Factor skimmer systems provide continuous, unattended oil recovery from sumps, tanks, and separator surfaces. Available in belt, disc, and tube configurations, they pair seamlessly with any K Factor separator or operate standalone to recover valuable oils and reduce waste disposal costs.
- Belt, disc, and tube skimmer configurations
- Continuous, unattended oil recovery
- Pairs with any K Factor separator system
- Recovers tramp oil, hydraulic oil, and coolant oils
- Minimal operator input — set and forget operation
