After recently installing an Atlas Copco OSC unit we thought we would go through the Pros of Using an Oil-Water Separator (OSC) units. The benefits of OSC far outweigh the cons. Let’s have a quick look.
Oil is separated more effectively thanks to innovative dual-stage filtration technology
Strict clean water standards pose no problem because the OSC delivers extremely high purity
Cartridges and filter bags that capture the filtered oil make condensate treatment easier and a lot less messy
Oil-water separators (OSC) are handy devices used across various industries to keep our NZ waterways clean by removing oil and other nasty stuff from water leaving as low as 5 parts per million (ppm). This achieves a very high-water purity.
Let’s dive into the advantages of using an OSC, so you can make an informed choice around this system.
- Regulatory Compliance
Many businesses need to follow strict environmental regulations regarding wastewater discharge. An OSC can help you stay on the right side of the law, avoiding hefty fines and legal headaches. - Cost-Effective
By cutting down on the amount of oil and contaminants in wastewater, OSCs can lower your treatment and disposal costs. This can lead to significant savings for your business over time. - Maintenance
The OSC has an effortless maintenance system which simplifies and reduces service time.
- Versatility
OSCs are pretty versatile and can be used in various settings, from industrial sites and oil refineries to car washes and stormwater systems. They’re a solid solution for different industries. - Improved Water Quality
By effectively removing oil and other contaminants, OSCs enhance the quality of the water being discharged, which is a win for downstream users and the environment.
Conclusion
You will need to consider your specific operational needs, budget, and regulatory requirements, to establish if an OSC is the right fit for your business.
