Westeel Ag-Separator 500 Mobile Unit
The Westeel Ag-Separator 500 Mobile Unit is a rugged, steel-bodied settling tank with an integrated oil separation stage designed for trailer-mounted barn wash applications; its high-capacity, farm-ready construction gives it an advantage on durability and onsite holding volume compared with smaller portable units. Financially it targets operators who value lower lifecycle replacement costs and higher throughput versus lightweight polyethylene interceptors, while technically it trades some of the polishing finesse of biofilters for robust mechanical settling and simple maintenance.

Husky Portable Oil Water Separator HOS-200T
The Husky HOS-200T emphasizes portability and rapid deployment for small- to medium-sized barn wash trailers, offering straightforward gravity/coalescence separation in a compact package that keeps upfront cost and footprint low. It is technically simpler and more mobile than the heavier Westeel unit and less expensive than premium coalescing systems like ACO, though it provides lower maximum capture volume and less advanced polishing than biofilter solutions.

Premier Tech Aqua Ecoflo Biofilter Compact
The Premier Tech Ecoflo Biofilter Compact offers biological polishing after primary settling and oil separation, removing BOD and nutrients with very low energy use, which makes it financially attractive over time for farms seeking regulatory compliance and improved effluent quality. Unlike strictly mechanical separators in this list, Ecoflo brings biological treatment that complements units like Westeel or Husky, trading higher initial capital for reduced operating costs and better long-term water quality.

Canplas Grease Interceptor 3925A-200
The Canplas 3925A-200 is a corrosion-free polyethylene grease interceptor built for lightweight installation and low capital outlay, making it a cost-effective choice for trailer-mounted wash systems primarily dealing with fats, oils and grease (FOG). It is financially advantageous for users who need a compact FOG solution versus heavier steel tanks and technically focused on grease retention rather than fine oil coalescence or biological removal, so it pairs well upstream of a polishing system if required.
