The Clearwater Full Retention Oil Separator is designed to treat the entire flow delivered by a drainage system, providing effective removal of oils, hydrocarbons, and contaminants before discharge. Full retention separators are typically sized to accommodate flows generated by rainfall intensities of up to 65mm/hr, ensuring all surface water runoff receives treatment before entering the drainage network or environment.
For larger sites, short-term surface water storage or controlled flooding may be an acceptable method of limiting peak flow rates, helping to reduce the size and cost of the separator system whilst maintaining effective pollution control. Full retention separators are commonly specified for sites where there is a significant risk of oil contamination and the highest level of environmental protection is required.
Designed to support compliance with environmental regulations, these systems help prevent oil pollution from entering watercourses, drains, and groundwater, making them ideal for a wide range of commercial and industrial applications.

Why Install a Full Retention Separator?
Full retention oil separators are recommended where all surface water runoff requires treatment before discharge. By processing the entire flow entering the system, they provide the highest level of protection against hydrocarbon pollution and help safeguard drainage systems, watercourses, and groundwater from contamination.
