Product Description
A compressed air system can be considered as the fourth-biggest energy source after water, gas, and electricity. The efficient way of storing and transmitting energy makes compressed air usages highlighted. Oil is used in most compressed air systems to dissipate the heat of compression, lubricate rotors and rotor bearings, and seal the edge between the rotor and the compressor casing. For that reason, there is so much oil content in the drain of the compressor. In addition to oil, other contaminants are also included the water while the air is pressurized and produces compressor condensate. This condensate mixture is defined as a highly harmful industrial waste. One liter of oil can contaminate one million liters of water. For that reason, it is forbidden to drain this condensate without any oil removal system. Also, most of the countries put restrictive laws about the thresholds of oil content in the drains. Consequently, the separation of oil is a must for protecting the environment and for obeying the laws.
Mikropor MWOS Series Oil-Water Separator Units supply you to separate oil content in the drain according to ISO 14000 standards reliably and cost-effectively. 3000 to 500 ppm range of oil content can be decreased to 10 ppm. Also, it has a user-friendly installation and maintenance procedure that minimized the downtime of the machine.

Working Principle of MWOS-37 and MWOS-55 Models
1. The oil-water condensate, which has approximately 3000-500 ppm oil concentrations, comes from the compressor condensate line and enters the MWOS through the multiple inlet ports.
2. The condensate goes through the depressurization chamber to condensate liquid pressure reach the atmospheric level for protecting the Mikro-Sep from high pressure.
3. The condensate goes inside the Mikro-Sep (separator element) and most of the oil is removed in this step. In that part, the oil concentration is decreased to significant ranges. The filtered oil-water condensate is started to collect at a specific level at the outside of the Mikro-Sep. The water stays at the bottom of the box which is much cleaner due to the density differences between water and oil. At a specific level, oil continues to collect top of the liquid and drained safely through the oil outlet.
4. The gradually cleaned condensate is transferred to the bottom of the box and directed through a channel for another separation step.
5. The special Mikro-X-Tex material is reduced the remaining oil content from gradually cleaned oil-water condensate.
6. The consecutively purified oil-water mixture is finally passed through the Mikro-Carb granules that reduces the remaining oil concentration to below 10 ppm. The oil content of the liquid is approximately reached <10 ppm which is acceptable bylaws.
7. Lastly, the purified water is discharged from the MWOS unit and can be allowed to flow into the drains that complies fully with the legal standards.
