How to deal with the water discharged from the air compressor

During the operation of the air compressor, the water vapor in the compressed air will condense into liquid water due to temperature changes. This part of the water needs to be properly treated to avoid equipment corrosion or environmental impact. Granklin water lubricated single screw air compressor uses water as lubricating and cooling medium, its drainage characteristics are significantly different from traditional oil lubricated air compressor, and the treatment method is more concise and environmentally friendly.

Causes of drainage

the air itself contains a certain degree of humidity. When compressed, the volume of the air decreases and the temperature rises, and the water vapor remains gaseous; when the compressed air is cooled below the dew point, the water vapor condenses into liquid water and is finally discharged through the drainage device. The drainage of the traditional oil-lubricated air compressor may be mixed with oil and requires additional treatment; while the Granklin air compressor has no oil lubrication and the drainage is cleaner.

Treatment of Granklin Air Compressor Drainage

granklin water lubricated single screw air compressor drainage treatment can be divided into the following steps, taking into account environmental protection and practicality:

1. Centralized collection

the equipment is equipped with automatic drain valve or drain device, which can discharge condensate regularly (such as every shift) or automatically according to the liquid level. The drain outlet shall be connected with a special pipe to avoid random discharge, which may lead to moisture on the ground or corrosion of equipment.

2. Simple handling (optional)

if the enterprise has higher recovery requirements for drainage, a small sedimentation tank or filtration device can be added to remove trace impurities that may be contained (such as dust carried by compressed air). Since the drainage of Granklin air compressor does not contain oil, no oil-water separation equipment is required, and the processing cost is significantly reduced.

3. Discharge or reuse

the treated water can be directly discharged into the municipal sewage pipe network (in line with local environmental protection standards), or used in non-drinking scenes such as plant greening and equipment cooling to realize partial reuse of water resources. The oil-free characteristics make its emissions more environmentally friendly and reduce the pressure on corporate compliance.

Drainage advantage of Granklin air compressor

• no oil pollution: Water lubrication technology eliminates oil from the source, and drainage does not require complex oil-water separation, reducing the difficulty and cost of treatment;
• high cleanliness: Drainage contains only a small amount of impurities (such as air into the dust), simple filtration can meet the needs of reuse;
• environmental Compliance: Meet the requirements of food, medicine and other industries for the cleanliness of the production environment, while reducing the risk of enterprises due to substandard drainage treatment.

In summary, Granklin water lubricated single screw air compressor through the oil-free lubrication design, simplifies the drainage treatment process, reduces the cost of environmental protection, is to focus on clean production and sustainable operation of the enterprise's preferred program.
