One litre of oil contaminates 1,000,000 litres of ground water. Therefore, the legislator stipulates professional and responsible handling of emulsified condensates and oil-contaminated industrial wastewater which accumulate during many production processes. Processing according to purely physical gravitational separation is not sufficient.

The BEKOSPLIT® splitting system has already proven itself internationally with regards to the reliable, economical and company-internal processing of stable emulsions. In addition, it offers system-related advantages as far as cost structures and efficiency are concerned:

•  No aggressive cleaner
•  Lower energy consumption
•  Low investment requirements
•  Longer maintenance intervals

A more economic solution for an environmentally sound condensate management is the decentralised oil-water separation directly at the source. Condensate which was processed with ÖWAMAT can be directly introduced as cleaned water into the sewerage system. The devices have a national technical approval and do not require a permit according to the law on water.
In addition, the ÖWAMAT oil-water separators do not create any energy costs, boast enormous filter service lives and can be retrofitted into older systems without difficulty. 

With this, the ÖWAMAT meets the highest demands on sustainability, efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

ÖWAMAT has the national technical approval Z-83.5-9 of the "Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik" (an institute of the federal and state governments for a uniform fulfilment of technical tasks in the field of public law). With this, the devices take into account the environmental and water protection and follow the holistic approach of sustainability. 

The cartridge technology is particularly user-friendly. It allows a fast replacement of the filter and facilitates low-waste disposal.  Furthermore, the filter service lives are significantly longer than the service lives of conventional activated-carbon filters. The prolonged maintenance intervals also result from this high product quality. 

The ÖWAMAT also proves its saving potential when it comes to the life cycle costs: they are particularly low, as no additional energy is required for the processing procedure. Thanks to these advantages, the ÖWAMAT, in most cases, pays for itself within a few months already.

The continuously high performance of the ÖWAMAT requires the use of optimum replacement filters. Inferior filters lead to bad separation results, reduced service lives, more frequent replacement and, therefore, to avoidable extra costs. In addition, the entire guarantee will expire if external or counterfeit components are used. OEKOSORB replacement filters ensure the reliable and economic functioning of the ÖWAMAT. Moreover, all legal requirements (Water Ecology Act) are met by employing the original replacement filters.

As original components, OEKOSORB replacement filters are exactly matched for use in the ÖWAMAT and ensure optimum distribution of the condensate and circulation through it in the filter. The material reliably retains undissolved oil components and dirt and achieves high cleaning efficiency and a long service life.
