Technical Specifications

Choosing the Correct SEPREMIUM 160i Lubricant Configuration

The JORC SEPREMIUM 160i is available in three filtration configurations designed for different compressor lubricants and condensate characteristics. Selecting the correct version is essential for effective oil/water separation, proper filtration performance, and long-term reliability.

Not all compressor oils behave the same way when mixed with water. Some separate readily, while others form stable emulsions that require specially selected filtration media.

Available Models & Lubricant Compatibility

KA – Mineral & Synthetic Compressor Oils (9804 JC)

The KA configuration is intended for conventional mineral-based compressor oils and compatible synthetic lubricants commonly used in industrial air compressors.

This version is suited to many oil-lubricated reciprocating and rotary screw compressor installations that produce condensate containing conventional compressor lubricants.

JN – Neutral Filtration Configuration (9804 JN)

The JN configuration features JORC's neutral filtration arrangement for applications requiring this particular separator version.

Because lubricant chemistry and condensate composition can vary, the correct application of the JN version should be confirmed with JORC or Compressed Air Advisors before ordering. The JN designation should not be treated as universal compatibility with all compressor oils.

PG – Polyglycol & Stable Emulsion Applications (9804 JB)

The PG configuration is intended for polyglycol-based compressor lubricants and compatible stable oil/water emulsions.

These lubricants can form persistent emulsions that are more difficult to separate using conventional oil/water filtration media. The PG configuration uses application-specific filtration media intended for these condensate characteristics.

Not Sure Which Version You Need?

Selecting the correct SEPREMIUM 160i depends primarily on the compressor lubricant formulation and condensate characteristics, not simply the compressor horsepower or CFM capacity.

If you are unsure which configuration is appropriate, provide our team with:

• Your air compressor manufacturer and model

• The lubricant manufacturer and product name

• The total compressor capacity in CFM

• Any known condensate treatment or discharge requirements

Common Applications

The JORC SEPREMIUM 160i is designed for industrial and commercial compressed air installations requiring effective condensate treatment, convenient maintenance, and automatic service indication.

Typical applications include:

• Automotive repair shops and service facilities

• Machine shops and metal fabrication operations

• Small and medium-sized manufacturing plants

• Industrial maintenance departments

• Compressor rooms with multiple condensate collection points

• Commercial workshops and production facilities

• Facilities requiring visible condensate separator maintenance alerts

Installation & Maintenance

The SEPREMIUM 160i is designed for convenient integration into compressed air condensate management systems. The included mounting bracket supports wall installation, while brass hose connectors and supplied adapters simplify connections to condensate collection lines.

Condensate collected from air compressors, receiver tanks, refrigerated air dryers, and compressed air filters can be directed into the separator. Its multi-stage filtration system captures oil contamination before treated water exits through the outlet connection.

Automatic Service Monitoring

The built-in flashing service indicator alerts maintenance personnel when separator servicing may be necessary or when a potential overflow condition is detected.

An optional JORC monitoring sensor is also available for facilities requiring an external equipment status signal. Compatibility with the facility's monitoring system should be confirmed before ordering the sensor.

Filter Replacement & Routine Maintenance

The SEPREMIUM 160i features replaceable filtration elements, allowing maintenance personnel to service the separator without replacing the entire housing.

Integrated service valves allow individual sections to be drained during routine maintenance and cleaning. The included test valve, sample bottle, and test kit provide a convenient way to monitor treated condensate quality.

Replacement Service Kits

Always select the replacement service kit that matches the filtration configuration of your installed separator.

Important: Proper sizing depends on combined compressor capacity, lubricant type, operating conditions, and condensate production. Treated condensate must meet applicable local wastewater discharge regulations before disposal.
