Compressed air condensate generally has far more oil than
20 mg/l content. The user has two possibilities.
Firstly, he can have the condensate taken away by a specialist waste disposal firm at great cost. Alternatively, the user can process the condensate on site by separating the oil and the water, which forms the largest
proportion.
ZANDER’s ecosep S high efficient oil-water separator and
the ecodrain automatic drain, offer compressed air users a
complete condensate management system to achieve an oil content, in water of 10 mg/l or below which can be discharged into the effluent system.
-ecosep SL 1 - SL 60
Separating system for non emulsified compressor condensate. Usable to connect several condensate drain systems. The adsorption charcoal filters adsorb the remaining oil droplets and garant high safety in application.
Standard complete and ready for operation.
Optionally a heater is available.
The Plenty Vertical Filter Separator will remove 100% of all droplets 8-10 microns and larger and 99.5% of all droplets ½-8 microns in size.
It will also remove 100% of all solid particles, 3 microns and larger 99% of all particles ½-3 microns in size.
These operating efficiencies apply over the entire flow range from maximum design down to virtually zero flow.
The first stage of the filter separator consists of a number of glass fibre coalescer /filter elements through which the wet gas passes.
The small liquid drops carried in the gas stream are trapped within the glass fibres of the element and coalesce to form drops 100 to 200 times larger than the original size.
These drops pass through the element wall and are carried forward by the gas stream to the second stage vane type separator.
The second stage consists of a vane type impingement separator, which operates exactly as described for vane separator.
All separators are manufactured in accordance with Atlas Copco's Quality and Environment Management System. These systems comply fully with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. All Atlas Copco separators are tested to perform under the most demanding conditions.
OSC - Advanced technology for all compressed air condensates
The new and extensive OSC range from Atlas Copco uses patented technology to separate all kinds of compressed air condensate.
The multi-stage separation process, using both buoyant oleophilic filters and activated carbon, ensures exceptional performance, long and proven filter lifetime and trouble-free operation.
All separators are manufactured in accordance with Atlas Copco's Quality and Environment Management System. These systems comply fully with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. All Atlas Copco separators are tested to perform under the most demanding conditions.
Inlet capacity: 35 to 2360 l/s, 75 to 5003 cfm
Filtration: oleophilic and activated carbon filters
Oil content: less than 15 mg/l
In order to prevent paraffin separation and clogging of the filter at low ambient temperatures, pre-warming with electric heating elements or recirculation of fuel that has been warmed by the engine is used in our fuel filters.
For newer generations with even higher requirements, MAHLE has opted for two separate filter stages during water separation.
The first filter phase consists of a cellulose filter medium with an untreated melt-blown contact surface for increasing the contaminant absorption capacity. This melt-blown contact surface optimally causes the many small droplets to coalesce into larger ones. The particulate filter in the shape of a pleated star even agglomerates the finest water droplets.
The second filter phase consists of a water separator, whose hydrophobic fabric with a mesh width of 25 µm divides the barely stable emulsion, thus separating the water. As this occurs on the clean side of the filter, it is referred to as clean-side water separation.
