Abstract
Disclosed herein is a separation system with a reusable layer for separating the compressor drainage with an oil concentration of 500-3000 ppm formed by the combination of water generated by the compression of air by the compressor screw block, oil used for cooling and lubricating the screw block, dirt, and other impurities in the environment. By using the separation system, the oil concentration of the wastewater drainage from the compressor can be reduced to a maximum level of 10 ppm without any energy cost, making it compliant with environmental regulations.
Claims17
A system for separating oil-water condensate from the compressor in compressed air lines, comprising:
- a first oil trap comprising at least one separator entering the system and allowing first stage separation of water-oil containing compressor drainage,
- at least one oil separation chamber in which liquid passing through the at least one separator in the first oil trap is collected, enabling a second stage separation process to be carried out based on density difference and separating oil due to its density difference,
- at least one second oil trap with at least one oil absorbing layer having oleophilic and hydrophobic properties for a third stage separation process, is the at least one second oil trap located in the at least one oil separation chamber and through which the liquid separated from the oil is transmitted, and
- at least one third oil trap containing activated carbon material, through which liquid from the at least one second oil trap is conveyed, causing the oil to be retained and thereby performing a fourth stage separation process.
A method for separating oil-water condensate, the method comprising:
- for a system separating oil-water condensate from a compressor in compressed air lines:
- introducing water-oil containing drainage coming out of the compressor into the system through at least one inlet port and transmitting the water-oil to separator in a first oil trap,
- performing first stage separation process in the separator,
- transmitting liquid passing through the separator an oil separation chamber to separate the water and oil based on the density difference for performing a second stage separation process,
- transmitting the liquid contained in the oil separation chamber and separated from the oil to a second oil trap comprising at least one oleophilic and at least one oil absorbing layer with hydrophobic properties for performing a third stage separation process,
- transmitting the liquid exiting the second oil trap to a third oil trap containing activated carbon material for retaining the oil, thereby performing a fourth stage separation process, and
- removing the de-oiled water from the system.
