Condensate is the unavoidable result of air compression. It is a chemically aggressive fluid, mainly composed of water, but also contains oil and dirt particles. If your compressor uses oil in a compression chamber, oil is inevitable. of. The lubricant will mix with the condensate to form oily water, which must be disposed of properly to avoid violating environmental regulations. Only one liter of waste oil can contaminate up to one million liters of fresh water.
This is why environmental regulations strictly prohibit the discharge of oily wastes and chemicals, including condensate from the compressed air system. Therefore, compressed air condensate must be disposed of in accordance with water resource regulations to achieve a specified level of safety before it can be disposed of in the wastewater system.
Therefore, compressor condensate must be collected and treated by a special process or disposed of prior to disposal to the environment. Here, an oil/water separator can be used to remove oil from the condensate. Since the condensate is about 95% water and 5% oil, a water/oil separator has been developed to reduce or eliminate the amount of oil in the condensate.
