Clean Resources CRP-500 Oil-Water Separator

Manufacturer Part Number: F10501

Treat compressor condensate from 30–250 HP applications with the Clean Resources CRP-500. Its alumina silicate substrate media adsorbs compressor lubricant while treated water drains by gravity. This complete system includes the reusable DC Plus manifold; choose F10501R when you need only a replacement media drum.

Key Features & Benefits

• Proprietary media handles compressor lubricants including silicone, PAG, synthetic, mineral, and food-grade fluids.
• Twelve condensate inlets accept lines from compressors, dryers, filters, and other drain points.
• Reusable compression-fit manifold transfers to the corresponding replacement drum.
• Carbon-filtered vents help reduce oily mist and VOCs during decompression.
• Antimicrobial outlet pouch helps inhibit algae and mold in the discharge hose.
• No heavy, messy media bag changes; scheduled filter and pouch service is still required.

Technical Specifications

What's Included

• CRP-500 media drum
• DC Plus manifold with twelve inlet ports
• Pre-programmed timer drain and carbon-filtered vents
• Outlet hose and sanitary pouch

Installation & Maintenance

Prime the media drum with water until water flows from the outlet before use. Keep the outlet hose flat or running downhill, with no kinks, airlocks, or submerged outlet. Connect clean shop air and the specified electrical supply when operating the timer drain. The supplied instructions recommend timer operation for most applications; confirm whether your application requires it. Replace the sanitary pouch every three months or as needed and the exhaust filters annually or as needed. If using an auxiliary discharge pump with CRP-500 through CRP-1000, elevate the separator on a suitable stand so it drains downhill into the pump.

Estimated Media Life

Estimates assume rotary screw compressors with 2 ppm oil carryover running 8,000 hours per year. Compressor condition, oil consumption, maintenance, and annual runtime affect service life. Consult us for reciprocating-compressor sizing and runtime corrections; these estimates are not an unconditional change-out guarantee.

Manufacturer Performance Guarantee & Recycling

When properly sized, installed, and registered, Clean Resources guarantees treatment of compressor condensate to 10 ppm or less for twelve months. If a registered unit fails under those conditions within one year, the manufacturer provides a prorated refund of the remaining warranty amount. Confirm the discharge requirements for your facility. Registered units qualify for manufacturer recycling; follow the program's return instructions or applicable state and local disposal rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is F10501 a complete separator or a drum only?

F10501 is the complete CRP-500 system with DC Plus manifold. The corresponding replacement drum-only part is F10501R.

How do I choose the correct separator size?

Use total connected compressor capacity, runtime, oil carryover, compressor type, and the required change-out interval. The model number alone does not establish the service life for every installation.

Can it handle different compressor lubricants?

The manufacturer's media is specified for compressor lubricants including silicone, PAG, synthetic, mineral, and food-grade types. Confirm suitability if your condensate contains additional process chemicals.

Does the timer drain use electricity?

Yes, when operated it uses the specified electrical supply and clean shop air. The supplied instructions recommend timer operation for most applications and advise checking whether a particular application requires it.

What routine maintenance is required?

Replace sanitary pouches every three months or as needed and exhaust filters annually or as needed. Replace the media drum when it reaches its service limit; the annual maintenance kit does not renew the media.

Can I route the outlet hose uphill?

The separator outlet is gravity drained. Use the auxiliary discharge pump for an uphill final drain route, while keeping the separator-to-pump connection downhill.

What does the manufacturer's performance guarantee cover?

For properly sized, installed, and registered units, Clean Resources guarantees reduction of condensate contaminants to 10 ppm or less for twelve months, with a prorated refund of the remaining warranty amount if a registered unit fails under those conditions. Confirm site discharge requirements separately.

Can I reuse the manifold and recycle the spent drum?

The DC Plus manifold is reusable on the matching replacement CRP drum. Registered units qualify for the manufacturer's recycling program; follow its return instructions or applicable local disposal rules.
