Adhere To The Clean Water Act with Oil-Water Separators

Compliance of EPA Clean Water Act CWA-404 

 

Compressed air systems produce condensate that contains water, oil, and contaminants, posing environmental risks and potential EPA violations if not properly managed.

Failure to address these contaminants can result in significant regulatory penalties and costly remediation. MCE offers industry-leading oil/water separators that effectively handle various compressor lubricants, ensuring compliance with the Clean Water Act and avoiding fines of up to $25,000 per day.

Our solutions include engineered molecular filtration and easy recycling of spent units, guaranteeing long-term success and environmental safety. 

Compressed air systems generate liquid condensate, a combination of water, oil, and various other contaminants. This might put your company at risk of an EPA lawsuit if they leave your premises as-is. Failure to remove these contaminants is not only bad for the environment, it also puts you at risk of substantial regulatory penalties and costly remediation.

YOU NEED AN OIL / WATER SEPARATOR 

If you are not currently in possession of a working device, we suggest you contact us as soon as possible to avoid any possibility of contaminating your wastewater and exposing you to both local and Federal EPA violations of Clean Water Act CWA-404. 

The violation can that carry severe penalties of up to $25,000 per day for each offense. 

MCE CAN SET YOU UP FOR SUCCESS 

We offer many solutions for this issue. They’re industry-leading engineered molecular filtration solutions for condensate discharge problems.  

The units we provide have been proven to handle condensate containing these common compressor lubricants: Polyalkylene glycols, Polyalphaolefin, Diester, Silicon, Hydraulic, Vegetable (Food) and Mineral-based lubricants.  

Spent units that have been registered can simply be removed and recycled at no charge for up to 4 years from installation. 

HERE’S HOW THESE UNITS WORK

Condensate flows into the depressurization chamber where pressure is reduced. Then, the condensate contacts the media bed and bonds to the unique alumina silicate modified to create an ionic charge. The cleansed water passes through the media and flows to the outlet. The monitor water is discharged via the drain.  

When the planned change period is reached or water turns cloudy, the separator should be replaced.
