Why should you install an oil/water separator? Under the Clean Water Act, it is illegal to drain oily compressed air system condensate into the ground or waterways. Enforcement of this act means violators face stiff fines and even jail terms - no slap on the wrist. In addition, many banks are requiring environmental audits before granting loans to companies or allowing ownership transfers.
What can you do? 1) Hope you don't get caught, 2) Pay someone high fees for legal disposal of gallons of oily condensate, 3) Isolate the small volume of oil in your condensate with an oil/water separator from Van Air Systems.
