Compressed Air Oil/Water Condensate Management Separators

Often referred to as CMS, or OWS, Condensate Management Separators have become an important line of defence - in the protection of the environment.

Because an oil injected air compressor creates condensate containing suspended, residual oil carryover, it must not be discharged directly to a city sewer or a soakaway area. Municipalities across Canada can impose serious penalties, fines, and in severe cases; legal repercussions. 

The Kaeser AQUAMAT i.CF oil-water separators, featuring the advanced AQUAMAT CONTROL, deliver reliable and efficient condensate separation for industrial compressed air systems with flow rates up to 3,300 scfm. These separators are meticulously engineered to outperform their gravitational separator predecessors, optimizing performance, reducing  maintenance demands, and integrating seamlessly with the latest industrial setups.

Unlike conventional gravity-based systems, the AQUAMAT i.CF utilizes a proactive approach by employing compressed air to evenly distribute condensate across the filter media. This cutting-edge technique not only ensures compliance with environmental standards, but also extends the lifespan of the filter, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The ergonomic design, combined with drip-proof cartridges, enables quick and clean servicing, minimizing downtime and mess.

The system’s standout feature, the intelligent AQUAMAT CONTROL, closely monitors the condition of the filter cartridges. With seamless Modbus TCP connectivity, and real-time monitoring -  proactive predictive and preventative maintenance become effortless, safeguarding the system from unexpected disruptions, ot issues. Alerts from the controller ensure that maintenance is carried out precisely when needed, maximizing cartridge usage and minimizing unnecessary costs.

Designed with a forward-thinking modular structure, the AQUAMAT i.CF allows for easy expansion to handle increased flow rates as your production grows. Each additional module operates with the same cartridge type, simplifying inventory management and cutting down on service expenses.

While the oil-water separator might seem like a small component within the broader compressed air system, the AQUAMAT i.CF significantly enhances overall reliability. It provides a robust, efficient condensate separation process with superior monitoring and service capabilities, ensuring your entire system runs smoothly and efficiently.
