The oily water separator works on the principle of gravity separation and filtration.
It separates oil and other contaminants from the water by using a series of chambers, coalescers, and filters.
When oily water enters the separator, it passes through various stages where the oil is separated from the water due to the difference in density.
The separated oil is collected for proper disposal, while the cleaned water is discharged overboard within regulated limits.
