Oily Water Separators Oily Water Separators

Bilge water on-board ships must be treated to the required international standard of 15ppm
oil content before being discharged to the environment. Currently over 16% of all oil pollution
discharges are caused by bilge water, thus oily water treatment is critical to maintain a safe and
cleaner marine environment and is imperative to preserve marine life.
Probably the first company in the world to appreciate the need to reduce the amount of oil
being discharged into the sea, Hodge Separators (Victor Marine), formed in 1925, have ever
since remained a world leader in oil separation, by producing equipment to help to combat oil
pollution. With over 7,000 units currently in operation on ferries, warships, cruise ships, tankers
and yachts, Victor Marine have the experience to find a solution to your bilge problems. Our
current range of bilge oily water separators have been developed to comply with the latest IMO
regulations MEPC 107(49), whilst ensuring that the unit is economical, reliable and robust.
