Compressor Oil Filtration

Dunno. Can't see it from here.

This sounds like the sort of question that needs to be asked of the equipment supplier's Sales Engineer before committing a Purchase Order.

You want to separate the oil from the water/air?

Does this mean that you want the water left in your compressed air?

Your question is confusing.

Do as PWSlack suggested. Call the supplier of the equipment and pose your riddle to them.

I want to separate the oil content from water which are drained from the compessed air receiver Nithin

Like a lubricated twin-screw air compressor?

Yes. Any compressor manufacture will guide you through what needs to be done and the devices necessary to clean the air to your requirements.

In that you state to separate the oil from the water/air means you have more problems then just the oil. Water is usually bigger problem. It damages the equipment that utilizes it. It should be remedied first. In condensing and removing the water a lot of the oil will be removed with it. The atomized oil droplets will collect to the water as it condenses and drop out with it.

The most effective way of removing a significant volume of these contaminants is the use of a compressor filter. These devices fall into three basic categories that address all of the common contaminant issues experienced with compressed air systems. The first of these categories are the family of intake air filters. Typically consisting of a cassette type insert in a closed cylinder, these devices are placed in the compressor's intake air line, where they remove most airborne dust particles. These filter elements are generally made of woven fabrics, cellulose fiber, or felted materials.

The second type of compressor filter is the moisture filter or trap. These filters consist of a filter element in a glass bowl. The structure of the filter causes a cyclonic internal flow pattern, which separates most of the condensate from the compressor's output air. The water collects in the bowl where it is later drained using a small valve on its bottom section. Combination compressor filter models that remove leached lubrication oil and water are also available.

The last type of compressor filter is a standard oil filter that ensures the compressor's lubrication oil is kept free of contaminants. These are also cassette-type filters that have specialized core elements similar to an automobile oil filter. The longevity of the compressor mechanism, hoses, and all of the equipment that it drives, as well as the quality of spray paint jobs completed with compressed air, can be enhanced considerably by having these filters in place. For this reason, these filters should be inspected regularly and replaced immediately if worn or defective.
