Treat oil-contaminated compressed air condensate efficiently with Atlas Copco OSC oil-water separators supplied and supported by CompreVac Inc., an established Atlas Copco distributor serving Canadian industry.
Compressed air systems generate condensate as moisture is removed from the air. In lubricated compressor systems, that condensate can contain oil and other contaminants.
Oil-contaminated condensate should be treated before disposal. An oil-water separator removes the oil from the water so that the separated waste oil can be handled appropriately and the treated water contains significantly less residual oil.
Atlas Copco OSC separators are part of Atlas Copco's broader compressed air treatment range and use a multi-stage treatment process designed for reliable condensate separation, simple operation and low maintenance.
Compressor condensate from lubricated systems can contain oil. Atlas Copco OSC technology is designed to help industrial facilities manage this condensate more effectively.
Remove oil contamination from compressed air condensate before disposal.
Separating oil from water can reduce the amount of contaminated liquid requiring specialist disposal.
Treat condensate automatically as it is generated throughout the Atlas Copco compressed air system.
Proper condensate treatment helps facilities manage oily compressor waste responsibly.
The Atlas Copco OSC uses multi-stage condensate treatment technology combining oleophilic filtration with activated carbon to separate oil from water and reduce residual oil in the discharged condensate.
As an Atlas Copco distributor, CompreVac can help select the appropriate OSC separator as part of a complete Atlas Copco compressed air installation.
The Atlas Copco OSC separates compressor oil from condensate in stages. The system first removes the majority of the oil using oleophilic media, then uses activated carbon to capture residual contamination before the treated condensate exits the separator.
Atlas Copco develops compressed air equipment around system efficiency, reliability and lifecycle performance. The OSC condensate range extends that approach to condensate treatment.
The Atlas Copco OSC design allows installation without complicated setup procedures.
Advanced oleophilic media reduces the load on the activated carbon stage and helps extend service life.
The filter system is designed for straightforward replacement during routine maintenance.
OSC separators can form part of a complete Atlas Copco compressed air installation including compressors, dryers, filters and condensate drains.
Atlas Copco is a global leader in industrial compressed air technology with an extensive portfolio covering compressors, dryers, filtration, condensate management, gas generation and complete compressed air systems.
CompreVac is an established Atlas Copco distributor serving Canadian industrial customers with equipment selection, application support, installation, parts and ongoing service.
This allows customers to work with one experienced local supplier for the compressor, air treatment equipment, condensate management and long-term technical support.
Selecting the correct Atlas Copco OSC separator depends on the compressor system, oil type, air treatment equipment, environmental conditions and the amount of condensate generated. CompreVac can review the complete compressed air installation when selecting the appropriate model.
The total Atlas Copco or other compressor capacity connected to the separator influences OSC sizing.
Different compressor lubricants can create different condensate characteristics.
Condensate generated by Atlas Copco refrigerated dryers and other air treatment equipment should also be considered.
Temperature and humidity affect the quantity of condensate generated by a compressed air system.
Common questions about Atlas Copco compressed air condensate, oil-water separation, OSC systems and CompreVac support.
The OSC oil-water separator is manufactured by Atlas Copco, a global leader in industrial compressed air technology. CompreVac supplies and supports Atlas Copco compressed air equipment for Canadian industrial customers.
Compressors remove moisture from atmospheric air as the air is compressed and cooled. In oil-lubricated compressor systems, small amounts of lubricant can mix with this condensate, producing oily water that requires appropriate treatment.
An Atlas Copco OSC oil-water separator removes compressor oil from condensate so the separated oil can be handled appropriately while the treated water contains significantly less residual oil.
The OSC uses multi-stage treatment. Oleophilic media first captures the majority of the oil, followed by activated carbon that removes residual oil from the condensate.
Oleophilic filter media has an affinity for oil. In an Atlas Copco OSC separator, the media captures oil from the condensate while allowing water to continue through the treatment process.
Activated carbon is used as a polishing stage after the main oil separation process to adsorb residual oil that remains in the condensate.
Yes. Multiple compressed air condensate sources can be connected to an appropriately sized Atlas Copco OSC separator.
The system is designed for low maintenance. Filter media requires periodic replacement, and maintenance indicators help identify when servicing is required.
The Atlas Copco OSC is designed to reduce residual oil in condensate substantially. Actual discharge requirements depend on applicable local environmental and wastewater regulations, so site-specific requirements should always be confirmed.
Yes. CompreVac is an established Atlas Copco distributor providing compressed air equipment, application support, parts and service for Canadian industrial customers.
Yes. CompreVac can help specify Atlas Copco compressors, dryers, filtration, condensate management equipment and related compressed air system components.
Yes. CompreVac can help select an Atlas Copco OSC separator based on compressor capacity, connected dryers, condensate load, lubricant type and operating conditions.
Speak with CompreVac about Atlas Copco OSC oil-water separators, condensate drains, compressors, dryers, filtration and complete compressed air treatment systems.
As efficient as the process may be, a compressor inevitably produces more than compressed air alone. One of its by-products is a large volume of condensate, generally an emulsifi ed combination of oil and water that poses a serious environmental risk. Only by treating this condensate in the right way, can we make sure it brings no harm to the environment.
If treated in the right way, condensate is nothing to worry about. The Atlas Copco range of condensate separators effi ciently separate the oil from the water. The harmless water can be drained away and the oil disposed of in an environment-friendly manner. Based on our years of experience with air treatment products, we suggest only the equipment that is right for your setup.
Environment Friendly
After separation the discharge condensate contains so little residual oil that it can be drained away without damaging the environment or infringing on strict pollution regulations.
Easy to Use
The OSC’s simple yet robust design enables easy installation without special set-up, and trouble-free filter replacement.
No Risk of Contamination
No oil collection bottle is required, eliminating the possibility of contaminating previously separated condensate.
Replacement Indication
Maintenance and blockage indicators tell you when filters need to be replaced, eliminating the need to run additional special tests.
