Oil-Water Separation Though municipal wastewater treatment plants have to deal with their share of oil and grease (O&G), this post on oil-water separation applies more to industrial wastewater systems, particularly those associated with petrochemical plants. There are several variables that can significantly influence the performance of gravity oil-water separators which include: 1) flow rate [velocity through the separator], 2) oil gravity [density], 3) pH, and 4) temperature of the wastewater.
