[Dsg-rich] RICH compressors successfully powered

[Walt Akers]

Brian or Tyler:

Since the hookup in the EEL Building is temporary, I assume that
you'll be able to use a catch basin for the discharge.  Do you have
time this afternoon to go down to Hall B with Carroll and me to
determine where the best place to discharge the installed unit will
be?  If so, what time is good?

>>> Drainage from air compressors typically contain oil that must be removed before draining into the sanitary drain.  Air compressor manufacturers offer condensate management systems to trap the oil in the compressed air condensate.  ESH&Q actually maintains a list of site condensate management systems protecting the HRSD sanitary system from oil.

>>> Most of the Jefferson Lab site condensate management systems are Kaeser systems (see the attached file) since most critical site air compressors are Kaeser compressors and Jefferson Lab has a basic ordering agreement with Kaeser to service their site compressors and related equipment.  Atlas Copco also provides condensate management systems (https://www.atlascopco.com/en-us/compressors/products/condensate-treatment).
