Gardner Denver GDCS Series Oil/Water Separator

GDCS series separators are designed to remove lubricants from compressed air condensate. This makes it possible to safely dispose of water directly at the equipment site. Since condensate is almost entirely water (about 95%), separating the oil significantly reduces the amount of hazardous waste. Normally, disposal fees are charged for the full liquid volume, but after purification only a small fraction — about 5–10% — requires special treatment. As a result, waste volume is reduced by 90–95%.

GDCS Series Technical Data

The range includes 10 standard sizes to handle air flows from 2.5 to 60 m³/min

Key Advantages

• Cost Efficiency: Minimized liquid disposal costs by treating water on-site3333.

• Environmental Compliance: Ensures a condensate discharge level of < 10 ppm under standard conditions, helping to avoid costly fines and meet regulations4444.

• Versatility: Guaranteed adsorption of a wide range of polyalphaolefin (PAO) lubricants and mineral oils available on the market5555.

• Reliability and Simplicity: Optimized design for reliable operation with reduced maintenance or downtime, eliminating mess or overflow6666.

• Modular Design: Features standardized modular media bags for easy service7.

How It Works

The purification process involves four key steps8:

1. Diffuser: Oily water flows through the diffuser9.

2. First Chamber: Multiple polypropylene media trap the oil10.

3. Second Chamber: Carbon media further removes remaining oil11.

4. Outlet: Clean water exits the separator12.
