Does air compressor drainage belong to production wastewater?

Air compressor drainage is generally considered as production wastewater.

When the water-lubricated air compressor is working, water is used instead of oil for lubrication and sealing, and water will be continuously discharged during operation. Although the discharged water does not contain oil, it directly participates in the production process, and the water temperature will be higher than when it enters the water, and it may also take away dust and microorganisms in the air. According to the classification standard of environmental protection, as long as it is produced in the production process, the water that needs to be discharged is basically classified as production wastewater.

However, there is a big difference between the water discharged from the water lubricated air compressor and the water discharged from the traditional oil lubricated air compressor. The drainage of the oil-lubricated air compressor is mixed with oil, which is very troublesome to deal with and belongs to the kind of wastewater that is difficult to deal. However, the water discharged from the water-lubricated air compressor is relatively clean and free of oil pollution. The main treatment is water temperature and a small amount of impurities that may exist in it, so the subsequent treatment is much less difficult.

In general, the drainage of the water-lubricated air compressor belongs to the production wastewater, but because it uses water as a medium and does not introduce oil pollution, it is much more friendly than the oil-lubricated air compressor in the wastewater treatment process, and the treatment cost is also lower.
