HP Oil/Watewr separator explosion 2009-12-07
 
Oil/ Water separator explosion. 
All operators of High Pressure
compressors should take note of a recent explosion whereby a HP
oil/water exploded. This is belived to have exploded at around 300 bar
whilst it was fitted to a Multi-stage high pressure compressor. There
was nobody in the immediate area at the time it let go. This
situation highlights the importance of inspection & testing of High
pressure filtration systems especially the oil/water separator which is
quite often fitted with an auto drain. Owners of compressors should
ensure that they do not exceed any recommendations by the manufacturers
which in some cases may specify a duty cycle or time replacement. It
appears in this particular
instance the complete base of the filter including the filter wall
tower completely parted in the area of the lower o'ring thus indicating
that
the lower base plug had not been removed for some time and corrosion
had eaten away the wall area. The separator was an older series. Please
consult your operations manual for
your filtration life span and servicing.
