DESCRIPTION
The Solberg Oil Mist Eliminator (OME) is designed to remove oil mist emissions from a polluted
air/gas stream and discharge clean air to the atmosphere. The filter element inside the OME vessel is a
coalescing separator (Item 2 on schematic) which operates at an efficiency of 99.97% for 0.3 micron
oil mist. Mist laden air goes through the element, coalesces and drains to the bottom of the vessel. The
collected oil is drained out of the filter through a drain port back to the oil reservoir, crankcase or waste
receptacle. Clean air is discharged to the atmosphere through the outlet.
There are two primary types of mist eliminators: Static (CV Series) and Vacuum Assisted Oil Mist
Eliminator (VAE Series)
CV Series: This product line is designed to remove all visible oil mist emissions. It is easily installed
and can operate for a number of years with little to no maintenance while maintaining high efficiency.
This is not vacuum extraction model, and is usually installed on systems that tolerate positive pressure.
With these systems, the reservoir or crankcase can usually handle the differential pressure contributed
by the CV Oil Mist Eliminator.
