PRODUCT INFORMATION
Cleanawater TS series oil water separators are classified as coalescing type separators (CPS), where oil droplets
in suspension in the moving water stream are removed in a coalescing process by the separating media.
The separating media in the two stages of the Cleanawater TS separator provides a random packed mass of
polypropylene rings with a maximized ratio of surface area to volume. The mass of rings fully occupy the
compartments of the two separation stages providing high surface area with the necessary open area to
allow the waste water stream to pass through. The random placement of the packing ensures that the
waste water cannot “channel” and avoid passing through the media rings.
In the separating process the oil droplets carried in the waste water stream must pass through the maze
of polypropylene rings. The gentle flow used, in conjunction with and high surface area and depth of
the bed in both compartments, ensures that the majority of oil droplets, however small, impinge on a
ring surface. The droplet velocity reduces to zero and gravity takes control. As additional oil droplets
impinge on the ring the droplets ‘coalesce’ together and grow in size. As the droplet volume increases
the buoyancy also increases. This increasing buoyancy drives the droplets to top surface. As the oil level
grows on the top surface it overflows to a waste oil collection container.
Similarly, but in reverse sequence, the solids particles impinge on the ring surfaces and lose their velocity.
Gravity will draw them to the base of the unit as their particle size increases. Upon passing through the
treatment system, created by the two stage packed media coalescing process, water is now treated and via
separator outlet is ready for disposal or to commence next stage of treatment.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
*-Note: At installation stage, all plumbing works must be completed by a licensed plumber. If electrical works
are required to be completed they must be completed by an electrician with relevant certifications.
Local water authorities should be contacted prior to installation to ensure local requirements have been met.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
STEP 1 – PREPARE AREA FOR INSTALLATION
Locate the oil separator in its operating position with sufficient access clearance to operate the sludge drain
valves.
While doing this also position your waste oil container and ensure reasonable work clearances are maintained.
STEP 2 – SETTING UP
Place unit or support frame on a solid and even base. A level concrete slab is preferred. If the slab is uneven it
is preferable to cement slurry the surface and set the separator/frame into the wet cement.
STEP 3 – SETTING UP
If you have been supplied with a separator support stand, dyna bolt your separator support stand into the
concrete slab at the four corners of the stand within the holes built into the stand. For corrosive environments
ensure galvanized fixing materials are used.
Ensure that your foundation has sufficient strength to support the mass of the unit.

from the (switch off point). This can be increased depending on the collection pit storage size. If you have a
high level alarm included with your package, repeat this step and set the high level alarm float to trigger near
top of your water collection vessel.
Refer to supplied wiring diagram at all times.
Strip the float lead back to expose active, neutral and earth wires. Following the wiring instructions, attach the
float lead wires to the control panel. Switch on the control panel at the power point and ensure it is switched
to the ‘Off’ setting.

Once the unit is entered into operation, it is an automated process activated by the float switch in the collection
pit which controls water throughput the oil separator; discharge from the oil separator is via gravity into sewer or
discharge tank. Pump tanks if pumping to a discharge source can be supplied on request.
Maintenance is to be routinely completed to ensure that the system is operating to its designed efficiency.
MAINTENANCE
The Cleanawater system is a high performance unit capable of separating high levels of hydrocarbons and solids
within the waste water stream. To ensure it is operating to the maximum of its efficiency the following
maintenance should be completed:
b) Open oil separator lid, inspect water flow and build up of oils on surface
c) When pump is running check water levels in each of the two stages, an even water level in both stages
illustrates the system is working correctly. If the water level in the first stage is visibly higher than the second
stage a system clean is required immediately, refer to Monthly/Quarterly maintenance procedures
d) Check waste oil container for any build up of oil, dispose of any oil in accordance with local regulations
e) Check the pump operation, float operation and ensure it is activating when water level reaches trigger point
f) Check condition of gate valves to sludge outlets and check any piping for damage

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SYMPTOM/CAUSE PLAN OF ACTION
Waste oil collar on the inside of the unit is set too low Ensure there is adequate water level in the pit,
switch the pump controller to manual mode to
start the pump operation. Adjust the waste oil
collar inside the oil separator to be 5mm above
water level when the pump is running. This will
ensure that only oils separated from the system
will be skimmed off into the waste oil drum and
no excess water. Switch pump control back to
‘Auto’ mode when complete.
There is a discharge blockage Media packs are blocked and required to be
cleaned in accordance with operations and
maintenance schedule
Note: If it is found that blockage occurs regularly
your oil separator system may be undersized or
overload of solids are blocking the system, ensure
all heavy solids are settled out or suction line is
located with adequate clearance from the base of
the pit
The pump flow rate is rated too high for the oil Excess flow rate is pumping through the system,
separator ensure the correct pump is being used in
accordance with the separator model,
submersible or centrifugal pumps must not be
used.
Suction line is obstructed Check pump suction line for obstructions causing
blockage
Flush suction line with water to remove blockage
Inspect suction lines for air ingression/cracks and
change as required
Check foot valve for obstructions
Check suction line is not submersed in sludge
build up
Pump component is damaged Pump diaphragm or rotor stator may be worn,
this will cause non suction although you will hear
the pump motor running, contact Cleanawater or
the pump manufacturer for pump spares
Waste oil collar on the inside of the unit is set too Ensure there is adequate water level in the pit,
high switch the pump controller to manual mode to
start the pump operation. Then adjust the waste
oil collar inside the oil separator to be 5mm
above water level when the pump is running.
This will ensure that oils separated from the
system will be skimmed off into the waste oil
drum and not contained within the unit. Switch
pump control back to ‘Auto’ mode when
complete.
There is little or no oils in the waste water stream
The oils in the waste water stream are not free oils
or oil droplets in suspension have been emulsified
due to use of solvents or other contaminants
effecting oil water separation efficiency,
coalescing oil separators will efficiently remove
free oils and grease from water, emulsified oils
cannot be removed and requires secondary
filtration. Contact Cleanawater on 1800 353 788
for further information on correct use of system
Ensure that quick break, biodegradable
detergents and degreasers are used with the oil
separator, mixture with other detergents and
degreasers or other contaminants may affect the
waste water stream and discharge results
