Bypass Oil Separators
Bypass Oil Separators are designed to deliver effective surface water drainage by removing hydrocarbons and silt from runoff in low-risk areas. Engineered to meet industry standards, they provide a reliable and cost-efficient solution where only the first flush of contaminated water requires treatment. The system allows higher flow rates to bypass treatment, ensuring optimal performance without unnecessary oversizing.
Available in a range of sizes and configurations, Bypass Oil Separators provide dependable protection for drainage systems and the environment, making them ideal for applications with minimal oil contamination risk.

Bypass Oil Separators are a practical and efficient solution for managing surface water runoff in areas where the risk of oil contamination is low. Designed in accordance with industry guidelines, these systems treat only the initial portion of rainfall known as the first flush which contains the highest concentration of pollutants such as oils, hydrocarbons, and silt.
During periods of heavy rainfall, excess flow bypasses the treatment chamber, preventing the separator from becoming overloaded and ensuring that the system continues to function effectively without unnecessary strain. This approach provides an economical alternative to full retention separators while still delivering compliant environmental protection.
Constructed from robust, corrosion resistant materials, Bypass Oil Separators are built for durability and long service life. They incorporate internal chambers that slow down the flow of water, allowing oil to rise to the surface and sediment to settle at the base, ensuring efficient separation before discharge.
These separators are suitable for a wide range of applications including car parks, commercial developments, and light duty traffic areas. With straightforward installation, low maintenance requirements, and reliable performance, Bypass Oil Separators offer an effective solution for protecting drainage systems and the wider environment from pollution.
