An Oil Separator is a drainage device that removes hydrocarbons and suspended solids from surface water before it discharges to sewer or watercourse, using retention and buoyancy to separate oil from water. In data centers separators treat runoff from fuel storage areas, generator yards, service yards and car parks to prevent diesel and oil contamination of the environment.
