Atlas Copco OSC12 Oil Water Seperator

Efficient | Maintenance-Free | Environmentally Compliant

The Atlas Copco OSC12 is a compact, high-performance oil-water separator engineered specifically to treat condensate from compressed air systems efficiently and responsibly. Designed for operations that prioritise sustainability and regulatory compliance, the OSC12 ensures the safe discharge of water while effectively capturing and containing oil contaminants.

Key Benefits

• Zero Electricity Needed: The OSC12 operates entirely without electricity, making it ideal for remote installations, mobile compressor units, or energy-conscious facilities.
• Regulatory Compliance, Simplified: By separating and containing lubricant oil before discharge, the OSC12 helps businesses stay compliant with environmental discharge regulations. Discharging untreated condensate can result in fines and ecological harm; this unit eliminates the risk.
• Reliable Multi-Stage Filtration: Equipped with dual-stage filtration, including oleophilic media that binds oil and allows clean water to pass through, the OSC12 is accurate and consistent in delivering oil concentrations below prescribed limits (typically <15 ppm depending on site conditions).
• Plug-and-Forget Simplicity: Designed for low maintenance, the OSC12 utilises replaceable filter cartridges that require minimal attention over extended periods. Visual inspection and simple periodic replacement ensure long-term operation with very low running costs.
• Compact Footprint: Its small and lightweight form factor (just 1.2 kg and 250mm in length) makes the OSC12 perfect for installations where space is limited—for example, beneath compressors or inside mobile service units.

Typical Applications

• Automotive repair shops
• Small manufacturing sites
• Mobile compressor setups
• Construction and remote locations
• General industry uses lubricated air compressors

How It Works

1. Condensate enters the OSC12 from your compressor or air dryer.
2. Gravity and filtration separate oil from water.
3. Oil is absorbed into the filter media and retained safely.
4. Clean water exists, ready for safe discharge into a drain or sewer line (depending on local regulations).

Maintenance & Filter Replacement

• No tools required for filter replacement
• Easy snap-fit design
• Typical service interval: 4,000–8,000 hours (depending on oil load and usage patterns)

Compatibility & System Integration

The OSC12 is compatible with most lubricated rotary screw and piston compressors and easily connects via standard drain lines or condensate piping. It integrates seamlessly into both new and existing air systems.

Included in the Box:

• Pre-assembled OSC12 separator unit
• Mounting bracket or stand (if applicable)
• Quick-start installation guide
• First set of filter elements (pre-installed)

Environmental Contribution

Using the OSC12 not only protects your equipment and facility from the legal risks of non-compliance, but also supports ISO 14001 environmental goals by ensuring your air system produces less than 15 ppm of residual oil in discharged water, depending on conditions.
