(180pages) A Report by DataM Intelligence estimates the Global Oil Water Separator market to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period 2023- 2030. The market is expected to grow due to increasing demand from Waste transfer facilities, Steel mills, Chemical, Food industry. The competitive rivalry intensifies with Sulzer Ltd, Schlumberger Ltd.., GEA Group, and others operating in the market.
Oil-water separator equipment is used to separate oil and water mixtures into their separate components. There are different oil-water separators, such as coalescing plate oil-water separators treating water to ~ ten ppm oil content, hydro cyclone oil water separators treating water to ~ five ppm oil content, vertical gravity oil-water separators with water to ~50 ppm oil content. Each partition complies with different separation techniques and has been used in various industries. These separators are designed and selected after consideration of oil separation performance parameters and life cycle cost considerations.
Oil/water separators also become necessary to prevent the discharge of oil overboard mainly when pumping out bilges. The requirement to fit such devices is the result of international legislation. Various industries with oil-water separator applications include steel mills, chemical, food industry, metal recycling, metalworking, and finishing, industrial wastewater treatment system, mining, car wash, workshops, quarantine wash bays, and others.

The global oil water separator market growth is driven by water management concerns, increasing applications in various industries, and strict government regulations towards water conservation.
The strict government regulations are expected to drive the oil-water separator market growth
The oil-water separator market is expected to boost with strict government regulations prohibiting the discharge of oil or hazardous substances such as contaminated bilge water. Countries like the US, Canada, China, and other various European countries have imposed strict penalties for those who fail to meet the formulated disposal standards, thereby accelerating the demand for oil-water separators. For instance, the U.S. has prohibited waste discharges into U.S. waters. Moreover, CWA has set wastewater standards for the industry and established water quality standards for surface water contaminants. Various other acts include the oil pollution act, and the Clean Water Act, which will boost the demand for the oil-water separators market.
The high cost associated with oil-water separators is expected to hinder the market growth
Oil-water separators are costly, cause difficulty in separating small particles, need high maintenance, have high labor requirements, and should be designed to comply with government regulations are some of the factors responsible for restraining the market growth.
Due to the pandemic, stakeholders across the oil-water separator market have seen a notable impact with all the manufacturing industries closed. The oil-water separator market is dependent on food, marine, mining, automotive, and related industries, resulting in reduced demand for oil-water separators. During this time, various countries have also forced a ban on the entry of vessels and containers operated from other ports, especially those transported from China; such operations have hindered the logistics and demand of the market’s growth.
On the other hand, the lockdown has resulted in the cleaning up of the environment, water bodies, and the public shifting towards sustainable practices for the conservation of resources, which is expected to boost the oil-water separator market.
By type, the oil-water separator market is broadly classified as conventional gravity separators, hydrocyclone water oil separators, flotation separators, coalescing plate separators, and others.
The hydro cyclone oil-water separators segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2023–2030)
The hydro cyclone type holds the largest market for oil-water separators in terms of revenue due to the following advantages: highly effective, compact, and low maintenance water filtration solution, ideal for industrial and commercial applications, up to 90% smaller than traditional separator systems, lower maintenance requirements, large flow rates; the ability to remove oil droplets between 10-15 microns; and additional recycling and pre-treatment modules.
For instance, conventional separators can separate particles up to 60 microns. Still, in various sectors, such as mining, high-level wet classification is necessary for efficient size control of particles finer than 1 mm, which makes hydro cyclone separators the optimal choice. Thus, various leading market players have been launching new products to cater to the industry's demand. For example, Jen Machinery Co., Ltd, Clean Water, and Process Engineered Watering Equipment have hydro cyclone separators that can fit into various applications and fulfill diverse needs. The broad product offering of hydro cyclone sizes brings increased efficiency and profitability.
The Europe market segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period (2023–2030)
Europe dominates the oil-water separator market and is expected to grow during the forecast period due to the government's strict regulations on conserving inland surface waters, transitional waters, coastal waters, and dumping wastewater treatment. Various leading market players have modified their products, such as Atlas Copco, which has launched an OSC oil water separator with dual filtration to comply with local regulations and protect the environment, and Llalco Fluid Technology, which has incorporated the latest technology in water separators to comply with IMO regulations MEPC 107 and provide DNV GL’s 5ppm approved products.
Also, APAC has seen significant growth in the oil-water separator market, with increasing demand in industries like food and beverages. According to Industry Analysis, 2021, Asia Pacific holds the largest market share in the food and beverage industry and China is the largest shareholder. The increasing use of separators to treat wastewater filled with contaminants such as grease and oil before the water can flow into the water treatment systems can save the amount of energy used by pumping systems to a total of 10% to 15% of wastewater treatment plants.
The oil-water separator market is consolidated and moderately competitive with local players, followed by global companies contributing to its significant share. Some of the key players contributing to the market's growth are Schlumberger Ltd., Parker Hannifin Corporation, Sulzer Ltd, GEA Group, Jenfu Machinery Co., Ltd, Clean Water, Process Engineered Watering Equipment, Alup Kompressoren, Pall Corporation, Recovery Energy, Inc., Compass Water Solutions, Separator Spares & Equipment, LLC, Village Marine Tec. and others. The major players are adopting various new strategies to dominate the market, such as launching new products, collaborations, and acquisitions. These are critical factors responsible for the oil-water separator market growth globally.
