Description
OSC condensate treatment
If the oil in compressor condensate is not removed before it enters the sewage system, it can cause significant environmental damage. Therefore, condensate treatment is not only the responsible thing to do; in most countries it’s the law. Thanks to its multi-stage filtration, Atlas Copco’s OSC removes oil from your compressor’s condensate with unmatched precision
to achieve an oil content of 10 ppm at outlet. In addition, the OSC offers zero-hassle maintenance thanks to its easily removable filter bags and cartridges.
Highly effecient multi-stage filtration
- Inlet: The condensate enters the unit via one single or multiple inlets. It passes through a diffuser and depressurizes in the expansion chamber. The diffuser removes bigger solid particles from the condensate so that these cannot compromise the filter media.
- First chamber: The oil-water mixture seeps through the polypropylene filter, which adsorbs the oil, but not the water. The condensate remains in the chamber for a while, starting a secondary, natural filtration as the remaining free oil floats to the top and is adsorbed by the filter bag.
- Second chamber: A removable cartridge, filled with activated carbon or organoclay, separates the remaining oil droplets from the condensate.
- Outlet: Clean condensate exits from the removable cartridge with almost no residual oil content, allowing for safe discharge into the sewer system.
