We are pleased to announce the delivery of a new oil mist separator designed to equip a Demag/Siemens Energy centrifugal compressor, model ARG 250/VK125 (1972), for an industrial site in France.
Demag centrifugal compressor turbines, now part of Siemens Energy, are renowned for their robustness and exceptional longevity.
This ARG 250/VK125 unit, in operation since 1972, perfectly illustrates the legendary reliability of these industrial machines.
The lubrication unit is the heart of the system that ensures the turbine’s long service life. It supplies pressurized oil to the bearings and other critical components of the machine.
The oil mist separator, mounted on the lubrication tank, plays a key role in the bearing sealing system.
What Is the Purpose of an Oil Separator on a Centrifugal Compressor?
The oil separator—also known as an oil mist separator—plays a vital role in the proper operation of a centrifugal compressor.
Its main purpose is to separate and remove fine oil particles present in the airflow.
A Key Component for Centrifugal Compressor Performance
In a centrifugal compressor, the oil separator is part of the oil separation and recovery system, which ensures proper bearing lubrication while preventing any oil carryover into the air discharge circuit.
A properly sized and well-maintained oil separator therefore contributes directly to stable operation, plant safety, and environmental compliance.
Delivery and Technical Support in France and Worlwide
This project demonstrates our ability to supply and deliver specialized technical components for centrifugal compressors throughout France, within controlled lead times.
