That is something companies have spent millions on to accomplish and there is no real way to totally separate water and oil. That is why it is very important to not dump oil on the ground or in water. Some oil can be filtered with a special filter, sometimes it will stick to plants, and many times it sticks to animals. This causes ecosystem damage and the oil is stuck in the environment for many years.
