Condensate Management

Remove and treat condensate from your compressed air system safely and efficiently with a condensate management system.

Separates oil and water for safe and compliant condensate disposal
Protects your site and drainage systems from contaminated discharge
Compatible with all compressor technologies and system sizes
Helps ensure compliance with environmental regulations and standards

Why Condensate Management Is Important

If you operate an oil-lubricated air compressor, condensate treatment is an essential part of maintaining a reliable and efficient compressed air system — yet it is often overlooked.

During the compression process, the air drawn into a compressor contains natural humidity, dust and other airborne contaminants. When this air is compressed, the moisture condenses and mixes with compressor oil and particles to form a contaminated condensate.

As the compressed air cools throughout the system, this contaminated condensate collects in pipework, air receivers, dryers and filters. If it is not properly removed and treated, it can lead to corrosion, damage to equipment and disruption to your compressed air network.

Proper condensate management ensures this contaminated mixture is safely removed from the system and treated before disposal, protecting both your equipment and the environment.

BENEFITS OF

CONDENSATE MANAGEMENT

Compressed air filtration offers the following benefits to your business.

Protect Your Compressed Air System

Efficient condensate removal prevents corrosion, contamination and damage throughout your compressed air network and downstream equipment.

Ensure Environmental Compliance

Oil-water separation systems safely remove oil from condensate so water can be discharged within environmental regulations.

Reduce Energy Loss

Zero-loss condensate drains remove condensate without releasing compressed air, helping maintain system efficiency and reduce wasted energy.

Reliable & Low Maintenance

Modern condensate management systems operate automatically, providing consistent performance with minimal maintenance requirements.

Compressed Air Quality Standards – ISO 8573-1

A condensate management system provides the most effective way to remove, treat and dispose of compressor condensate safely while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Oil-Water Separators

Compressed air condensate from oil-lubricated compressors contains traces of compressor oil that must be removed before the water can be discharged into the drainage system.

Oil-water separators use a multi-stage filtration process to separate the oil from the water. The collected oil can then be disposed of correctly, while the purified water can be safely discharged in accordance with environmental regulations.

Zero-Loss Condensate Drains

Zero-loss condensate drains automatically remove condensate from compressors, air receivers, dryers and filters without wasting compressed air.

Unlike traditional timed drains, zero-loss drains only open when liquid is present. This prevents valuable compressed air from escaping during the draining process, improving system efficiency and reducing unnecessary energy loss.

By combining automatic condensate drains and oil-water separators, businesses can ensure their compressed air system remains efficient, reliable and fully compliant with environmental standards.
