Page 4: Introduction
Low density suspended solids are encapsulated by the oil and progress to the top of the VGS for discharge to the waste tank. Heavy solids settle to the base of the unit and are removed from the system by the way of a control valve. -
Page 5: Approvals
VGS Oily Water Separator Technical Manual Approvals Since its invention in 1992 the VGS has progressively gained approval from water treatment authorities, local councils & other government bodies throughout Australia. Approvals include: Authority State Sydney Water Corporation Dept. Land & Water Conservation Hunter Water Corporation Limited A.C.T.E.W. -
Page 6: The Technology
The Technology Principle of Operation The Vertical Gravity Separator (VGS) is a flooded system in which the inlet and outlet columns form a U - tube configuration. The free oil and low density suspended solids are trapped on one side of the main body and the treated water flows out the other side. -
Page 7: Vgs Options
VGS Oily Water Separator Technical Manual VGS Options The modular design of the VGS allows for a variety of different options to be ordered depending on the specific site requirements. Flow Rates The range of VGS’s covers flow rates from 1000 L/h up to 3000 L/h. Flow rates above this can be achieved by installing multiple units. -

Page 19: Commissioning
Step 1 Place waste tank under the oil outlet. Step 2 Charge the VGS by filling the main body, via the opening in the lid, with clean tap water (using a hose). The VGS is full when water starts to flow out of the clean water outlet. -
Page 20: Maintenance
• Daily Check the level of the oily waste in the waste tank. Check the operation of the VGS to ensure that there is no oil in the water flowing out of the CLEAN WATER OUTLET. Monthly refer to Fig 7 for component recognition Carry out a routine Maintenance Procedure as detailed below: Step 1 Ensure the waste tank is empty and situated under the oil outlet. -
Page 21: Maintenance Schedule
DAILY 1. Check the level of the oily waste in the waste tank. 2. Check the operation of the VGS to ensure that there is no oil in the water flowing out of the CLEAN WATER OUTLET. 3. Check the strainer in the top of the centre column is clear. -
