Condensate is an unavoidable result of air compression. It is a chemically aggressive fluid that mainly consists of water, but also contains oil and dirt particles.
Oil carryover is unavoidable if you have compressors that use oil in the compression chamber. The lubricant will mix with the condensation and create an oily water that must be properly handled to avoid violating environmental regulations.
Just one litre of used oil can contaminate up to one million litres of fresh water. This is the reason that environmental regulations strictly prohibit the discharge of oily wastes and chemicals, including the condensate drained from a compressed air system.
Compressed air condensate must therefore be treated in accordance with water resource legislation to achieve prescribed safety levels before it can be disposed of in the waste water system. Compressor condensate must therefore be either collected and treated by special processes or treated prior to disposal to the environment. An oil/water separator can be used here to remove the oil from the condensate. Since the condensate is approximately 95% water and 5% oil, water/oil separators have been developed to reduce or eliminate the amount of oil in the condensate.

Compressed Air Filters
Airborne particles, water vapour, microbes, and chemical gases enter compressors. After compression has taken place these contaminants become concentrated and more destructive.
Compressed air quality is essential to all modern production facilities. Compressed air filters, often referred to as line filters, are used to remove these contaminates from compressed air. Clean and dry air protects the compressed air system, reduces maintenance costs and increases finished product quality. Types of filters vary depending on the application, the pressure level and type of contaminants. Types: Aluminium compressed air filters, (high pressure) welded carbon steel compressed air filters, welded stainless steel filters, vacuum pump protection filters, medical filters, silicone free compressed air filters, carbon steel high pressure filters, stainless steel process filters.

MSS (Click here <PDF DATA SHEET>)
Mobile steam steriliser
Compressed air piping with high temperature and humidity is a suitable environment
for microbial growth. In order to stop microbial activity, filters have to be sterilised.
Sterilisation can be done in place or in the autoclave. To perform autoclave, sterilisation filters
need to be removed from the system and due to septic conditions in the atmosphere it is
difficult to prevent contamination during re-assembly of the installation.
Sterilisation in place (SIP) ensures much better results and is more common in the process industry.
Steam sterilisation is an effective method to stop microbial activity. “Mobile Steam Steriliser” is
designed for easier, cheaper and faster SIP. MSS can be easily connected to any part of installation
where sterilisation is required. After filter sterilisation is completed MSS can simply be disconnected
and transported to another location.
