Oil/Water Separators

Oil-Water Separators

A natural byproduct of compressed air production is condensate. This condensate collects throughout your compressed air system in aftercoolers, air dryers, filters, drain points, and air receiver tanks. Because it typically contains compressor lubricant and other contaminants, condensate cannot legally be discharged directly into the environment or most sewer systems without treatment.

Oil-water separators are designed to separate compressor oil from condensate, allowing the treated water to be safely discharged in accordance with EPA guidelines and local wastewater regulations. Installing a properly sized oil-water separator helps protect the environment, reduce disposal costs, and keep your facility compliant with environmental requirements.

Compressed Air Advisors offers a complete selection of oil-water separators from industry-leading manufacturers including JORC, KSI and Clean Resources. Whether you operate a small reciprocating compressor or a large rotary screw compressed air system, we can help you select the right condensate management solution for your application.
