Air Compressor Condensate Oil Water Separator
Environmental concerns have produced tough new standards to follow and stiff penalties for those who don’t comply. Most states now consider air compressor condensate as a hazardous waste. In other areas it is at least considered to be a special oily waste, with discharge limits to POTWs or municipal treatment plants. Some plants have it hauled off.
This oil water separator is specifically designed to handle air compressor condensate. This separator has NO moving parts and is nearly maintenance free. It’s designed to give turbulent free plug flow for maximum oil water separation. A large turbulence free separation chamber provides sufficient residence time for coalescing gravity separation, and the effluent header design and placement insures maximum residence time for separation.
A large volume, external Activated Carbon Filter polishes the effluent to a sheen-free clean water, but only after most of the separation work has been done by the oil water separator. This easy to change polishing media will provide the peace of mind and final line of defense prior to discharge. Most wastewater districts readily accept water after it has gone through activated carbon filters.
Rugged construction, proper selection and a proven design will assure you of a clean discharge, eliminating the concerns of environmental compliance.
