Kaeser Aquamat CF9 Oil separator

• Separating oil from condensate generated by air compressors in food processing facilities.
• Treating wastewater streams to remove free oils and greases before discharge or further treatment.
• Ensuring compliance with environmental regulations regarding oil in wastewater.
• Protecting downstream water treatment systems from oil contamination.

Typical capacity

Typically designed to handle condensate volumes from compressors up to approximately 9 m³/min FAD.

Separation method

Utilises multi-stage gravity separation and adsorption filtration to achieve oil separation.

Oil residue content

Commonly achieves residual oil content in treated water below 20 mg/l, suitable for direct discharge in many regions.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, units typically have a compact footprint, often less than 1 square metre.

Maintenance requirements

Requires periodic replacement of filter elements and disposal of separated oil, typically every 6-12 months depending on usage.

Materials of construction

Housing is commonly made from robust, corrosion-resistant plastics or coated steel.
