ÖWAMAT®
Gravity Type Oil-water Separators from BEKO
Decentralised processing of the condensates directly where they develop represents a solution which is more elegant and, above all, more cost efficient. In this respect, ÖWAMAT® oil / water separators perform much better than light-liquid separators in accordance with DIN 1999 and simple gravity separators. In contrast to these devices, ÖWAMAT® installations meet all legal requirements. Additional investment costs and infrastructural conversions are not necessary.
Experience guarantees the lead
ÖWAMAT® from BEKO is optimally adjusted to the operating requirements of today's compressed air systems. Having been consistently upgraded and improved over more than two decades, the generation now available has become the standard of this industrial sector with our products often copied but never equalled.
ÖWAMAT® is know for superior cost-effectiveness and function:
- Plant-specific sizes
- No energy costs
- National technical approval for all sizes
- No permit according to the law on water required
- Low maintenance. Control once a week only
- Payback within a few months
- Compared with the previous models, the performance is higher by 90 to 125 %, depending on the size.
The oil-contaminated condensate flows under pressure into the newly designed pressure relief chamber. 1 Here, the pressure is released without creating turbulence in the downstream 2 separation tank. Any entrained coarse dirt particles are held back in a 3 removable trap. In the separation tank, the oil settles on the surface as a result of gravity separation. It then flows into the overflow-proof oil collector 4 .
The precleaned condensate flows into the filtration stage. The prefilter 5 , which is characterised by its ideal flow pattern from the inside to the outside, binds the remaining oil droplets. It also deals with any residual floating oil in the filter chamber. The remaining oil particles are safely and reliably retained in the main filter cartridge 6 . The final result is purified water suitable for discharge directly into the sewer system. Thanks to the cartridge technology, filter replacement is both quick and clean.
Special version for condensates without free oils, as typical for certain OEM applications, e.g. in the case of polyglycol lubricated compressors. For dimensioning an ÖWAMAT® version without separation of free tramp oils we recommend obtaining advice either from specialists in the trade or from BEKO.
