SETTING THE STANDARD IN OIL-WATER SEPARATION OIL-WATER SEPARATOR BASICS
WHAT
WHY
is an Oil-Water Separator?
are Oil-Water Separators important?
All compressed air systems produce condensate as a normal part of their operation. This condensate contains oil and other contaminants and must be treated before it can be released into the environment or put into public drains. Oil-Water Separators remove these contaminants, making the condensate suitable for discharge.
Compressor condensate contains harmful oil and chemical elements that pose a significant threat to natural waterways and drinking water sources. It must not be released into the environment or public sewer systems without adequate processing. Federal, State, and local agencies, including the EPA, strictly regulate compressor condensate, requiring proper collection and treatment before disposal.
A 100 HP Compressor may produce up to 1,000 gallons of oily condensate per day in humid conditions.

needs an Oil-Water Separator?
can a Clean Resources Oil-Water Separator help?
Industrial compressed air systems can be composed of air compressors, filters, dryers, and air receivers, all of which produce contaminated effluent that needs to be treated. Compressed air is used everywhere, and every one of these systems needs an Oil-Water Separator.
• Simple to install with near-zero maintenance required. • Resists mold buildup that can clog other systems. • Exceeds all removal standards for the life of the product. • Guarantees EPA Compliance for the life of the product. • Works with all lubricants including synthetics and polyglycols. • Save 90% of the cost of hauling away oily waste for processing.*
Compressed air is often called the fourth utility because it’s a vital energy source for many industries, similar to electricity, water, and gas.
Regulatory limits can be as low as 10 ppm, a standard only Clean Resources Oil-Water Separators can achieve.
