INGERSOLL-RAND Oil Water Separator

Working Mechanism

• The contaminated condensate from compressed air systems enters the separator.
• The initial phase involves a primary filtration stage that captures larger oil and solid particles.
• In the coalescing stage, smaller oil droplets are brought together into larger masses. This is achieved through specialised coalescing filter elements that encourage the coalescence of fine oil particles.
• The coalesced oil, now in larger droplets, separates from the water due to gravity. The separated oil rises to the top of the separator.
• The separated oil is collected at the top of the separator, forming a distinct layer. An automatic drainage system removes the collected oil from the system, ensuring efficient oil removal.
• The treated water, now free from most oil and contaminants, exits the separator through a clean water outlet for safe disposal.
