It works by filtering the oil and water through a variety of filters and media. The process typically involves multi-stage filtration, including activated carbon and organoclay. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:

1. Collection: The oil-containing condensate is collected and depressurised.

2. Initial Filtration: The condensate passes through an oleophilic filter, which attracts and traps oil particles.

3. Secondary Filtration: The filtered condensate is then directed through activated carbon, which removes any remaining oil.

4. Separation: Free oils undergo gravitational separation from the water, and the remaining oil residues are collected.

5. Discharge: The remaining water, now free of contaminants, is safely discharged into the sewer system.
