Water discharge into municipal water treatment systems Most municipal water systems either do not allow or apply a surcharge for oily water or grease discharges in
excess of 15 parts per million(ppm).

Engine cooling water monitoring Oil in engine cooling water will plate to the inside of the cooling systems and cause hot spots and engine
damage.

Effluent monitoring After an oil-water separator.

Water storage lagoon for rolling oil effluent from an aluminum mill In fact any rolling mill.

Power plant effluent

Oil well process water discharge

Fuel transfer station rain water runoff

Oil reclamation system discharge water

Emergency oil recovery vessels and vehicles
