Oil interceptor for air supply line
Oil interceptor for air supply line
(OP)
I have a problem with an air blower for an air scour supply to a gravity filter. The air scour is for backwash purposes.
The problem encountered is that the air blowers are releasing some oil through the scour pipe. It is only very small amounts however I am looking at ways to stop this.
One way I was thinking was to install some kind of oil interceptor after the blower to filter it out of the air stream.
If anyone has any experience or advise on this type of problem that would be a great help.
Many thanks

producing up to 100 kPa (15 psig) service. The units may have an oil-filled gear case and should use a filter for oil removal as necessary.
Contact the blower supplier and see what is available. You need to find a filter that has a low pressure drop.
