Treat Oily Compressor Condensate More Effectively
ÖWAMAT® oil-water separators treat oily condensate generated by oil-lubricated compressed-air systems so oil can be separated from the water phase before appropriate disposal.
Treating condensate can reduce the volume of waste that requires specialist disposal. Final discharge requirements depend on local regulations and the condition of the treated water.

- Supports responsible condensate management
- Designed for industrial compressor systems
- Service components available
Common Applications
- Rotary screw compressor systems
- Compressor rooms
- Manufacturing plants
- Maintenance workshops
- Industrial compressed-air treatment
- Facilities managing oily condensate
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an oil-water separator used for?
It treats oily compressor condensate by separating oil from the water phase.
Why does compressor condensate contain oil?
Oil-lubricated compressors can introduce lubricant into the condensate collected from the air system.
Can treated condensate always go to drain?
No. Disposal requirements depend on local regulations and measured discharge quality.
How do I size an ÖWAMAT®?
Sizing depends on compressor capacity, lubricant type, climate and condensate volume.
Does the separator need maintenance?
Yes. Filter media and service components must be maintained according to the model instructions.
Can it reduce disposal cost?
It can reduce the volume of oily waste requiring disposal, depending on the application.
Is ÖWAMAT® suitable for every condensate type?
No. Some stable emulsions require more advanced treatment such as BEKOSPLIT®.
Can PneumaticHub supply service parts?
Yes. Genuine BEKO service components are available.
