What is oil water?
Oil water consists of mixtures of oil and water produced by separators, workshops, wash bays and industrial processes. The oil/water ratio and composition determine the right separation and processing route. IAM samples, pumps on site and has oil and water processed separately.

How does it work?
1
Sampling & analysis
We assess the oil/water ratio and composition to determine the right route.
2
Pumping on site
Pumped and removed ADR-authorised, including separator emptying and large volumes.
3
Separation & processing
Oil and water separated and processed at certified facilities, fully documented.
4
Documentation & completion
You receive the full chain and processing documentation, so the chain is demonstrable and audit-proof.
Regulations & certification
Separated and responsibly processed
Oil-water mixtures demand the right permits and watertight paperwork — from collection through to separation and processing.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as oil water?
Mixtures of oil and water such as separator contents, slop water, coolant emulsions and wash-bay water.
Does IAM also empty oil separators?
Yes, we pump and empty separators on site and remove the contents ADR-authorised.
What happens to the sediment that remains?
The settled sediment is a separate stream that we also remove and process — see our page on sediment from oil water.
Is oily water hazardous waste?
Oily water is usually classified as hazardous waste under a EURAL code because of the oil content. We help you classify the stream correctly.
Do I receive documentation when oily water is disposed of?
Yes. With every collection you receive watertight chain documentation, so the chain is demonstrably compliant.
