An OWS service kit for your system.
Purpose of an oil/water separator
An oil/water separator is an important part of a compressed air system. It reduces oil content in condensate before discharge. This ensures compliance with environmental regulations. It also protects drainage systems from contamination. An OWS Service kit supports this function by maintaining correct operating performance.
The separator works by separating oil from water in collected condensate. This process is necessary because untreated condensate cannot be released directly into drains. The oil content must be reduced to legally accepted levels.
Proper separation improves system safety and supports environmentally responsible operation. It also reduces the risk of fines or operational restrictions caused by improper disposal.
How the separation process works
The oil/water separator removes oil from compressed air condensate through a controlled filtration process. This allows most of the water to be safely discharged. Up to 99.9% of the condensate can become clean enough for sewer release.
Only a small concentrated oil fraction remains after treatment. This residue must be handled as industrial waste. It is disposed of in a controlled and legally compliant way.
The system operates continuously and requires proper maintenance to remain effective. When components wear out, performance can decline. This makes regular servicing essential for reliable operation.
Importance of maintenance and service kits
To maintain correct separation performance, timely maintenance is required. Internal filter media and separation elements gradually become saturated during use. This reduces efficiency and increases pressure resistance in the system.
That is why replacing components at the right time is important. A complete OWS Service kit ensures that all critical parts are renewed at once. This helps maintain consistent separation efficiency and stable system performance.
An OWS Service kit also reduces downtime during maintenance. It provides all necessary components in one set, making servicing faster and more efficient. This improves operational reliability and helps avoid unexpected system interruptions.
Regular use of an OWS Service kit supports long-term compliance with environmental standards. It ensures that oil separation remains effective and that discharge water stays within legal limits.
