Oil Water Separators

Condensate Treatment for Compressed Air Systems

Oil-injected compressors produce condensate containing water, compressor lubricant and airborne contamination. An oil-water separator treats this waste stream before disposal, helping businesses manage condensate responsibly and meet applicable local requirements.

Choose the Correct Oil Water Separator

How an Oil Water Separator Works

Compressor condensate enters the separator and passes through specialised media. The media captures and retains oil while treated water moves through the system to the outlet. The exact process varies by model and lubricant type.

• Separates compressor lubricant from condensate.
• Reduces the volume of oily waste requiring specialist disposal.
• Supports responsible condensate management.
• Simple installation and routine servicing.
• Selected Tanair systems offer service life up to approximately 4000 operating hours.

Installation and Maintenance Guidance

• Connect all relevant condensate drains to the treatment system.
• Install the separator upright on a stable and accessible surface.
• Confirm inlet and outlet connections before commissioning.
• Use the correct media for the compressor lubricant.
• Inspect outlet quality and use the supplied test method where applicable.
• Replace service media at the recommended interval or when outlet quality deteriorates.
