ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Disposal of Liquid Effluents
The presence of liquid effluents or non-treated condensed from tank and condensed separator in rivers, lakes
or in other water receiving bodies may adversely affect the aquatic life and the water quality as well.
The condensed withdrawn from the tank end condensed separator, daily, according to the Preventive
Maintenance Chapter, must be kept in a container and/or in an appropriate collecting network for further
treatment.
Schulz S.A., the manufacturer this product, recommends that the liquid effluent produced inside the receiver of
the compressor or condensed separator should be adequately treated through processes that aim at
protecting the environment and the healthy quality of life of the population, complying with the country's current
regulation requirements.
Among the treatment methods available, one may choose the physical-chemical, chemical, and biological
ones.
The treatment may be carried out by the company itself or by outsourcing.

compressor must meet technical requirements, as well as the regulation requirements of the current legislation
of the country the product has been exported to.
