  • Polyolefin oil/water separator
    Patent number: 6015494
    Abstract: Polyolefin oil/water separator. An oil/water mist separator for use with exhausts from air compressors, air separators, air receivers, and air dryers, as examples, is described. The separator utilizes fibrous polyolefin strips placed in a hollow receptacle therefor to separate the oil from the water in the mist, the oil being retained on the polyolefin, while the water, now having sufficient purity, may be discharged in conventional sanitary drains. The separator may also be used to separate oil from water from other sources thereof.
