The SEPREMIUM is designed to separate mineral oil, semi -and fully synthetic lubricants from condensate. A stable emulsion formed from mineral oil or synthetic lubricants is typically no problem for the SEPREMIUM. Special elements are available for poly-glycol applications, consult the factory.

Polypropylene has the perfect effect on oil. It attracts oil and captures it, almost as if it draws oil like a magnet. That simplicity and our technology are at the root of the SEPREMIUM's efficiency.

The SEPREMIUM uses various filtration stages to achieve the lowest possible oil residue. The first stage is an adsorption filter that utilizes a material that is treated and designed to adsorb oil, not water. The condensate flows through the filter and the oil is adsorbed. Subsequent separation stages are completed with specially selected activated carbon to polish out the remaining contaminants.

Air leaks are a concern for anyone operating a compressed air system. The average plant with no formal leak management program will have air leaks that waste up to 30 percent of the total air capacity.

Leaks will cause compressors to run at full load for longer periods of time. The compressors will not only use more energy but, may also need additional maintenance due to the increased loads.

Leaks can give the false impression that additional compressors are required to meet the demand for compressed air.

Common Leak Points

• Quick connection fittings have o-rings to seal the hose connections. A damaged or missing o-ring will cause the connection to leak.
• FRL's (filter, regulator & lubricator)
• The welds found on pipe joints and pipe flanges can leak due to vibrations, age or improper welding.
• Float or mechanical type condensate drains are also a source of air leaks.
• Pipe thread connections, air tools and many more sources can be the cause of air leaks.
