Oil Water Separators
Our API-compliant oil water separators effectively remove free and dispersed oil from industrial wastewater. Available in above-ground, below-ground, and hopper configurations with flow rates up to 6,000 GPM. Constructed from stainless steel, carbon steel, fiberglass, or polypropylene to suit specific applications while meeting or exceeding industry standards.
Inclined Plate Clarifiers
Designed for high-solids wastewater treatment, these clarifiers use inclined plate technology to precipitate and separate solids from water. Available in mobile configurations for frac tank applications with flow rates up to 300 GPM and customizable plate angles for optimal performance in diverse industrial settings.
VOC Removal Systems
NEEP ShallowTray and Pack Tower air strippers remove volatile organic contaminants from water. The low-profile design handles flow rates up to 13,000 GPM while maintaining high efficiency in stripping VOCs like ammonia through optimized air-to-water ratios and contact surfaces.
Coalescing Media
HD Q-PAC, UNIPACK, and UNIPACK-Plus media options enhance oil/water separation efficiency. Stainless steel-framed assemblies provide maximum coalescing surface area while maintaining structural integrity. Specialized designs address high solids concentrations and challenging wastewater characteristics in industrial applications.
Mobile Treatment Units
Self-contained demo units including clarification separators, inclined plate clarifiers, and air strippers with complete pumping systems. Available for 30-day trial periods with refundable deposits, these mobile solutions allow customers to test equipment performance before purchase while maintaining full operational capabilities.
