A device for controlling the oil temperature of an oil-injected compressor installation with a compressor element that is provided with a gas inlet and an outlet for compressed gas that is connected to an oil separator that is connected by an injection pipe to the compressor element. A cooler is affixed in a part of the injection pipe that can be bypassed by means of a bypass pipe. The device is also provided with an extra pipe that is intended to be connected in parallel with the bypass pipe and the cooler, and in which an energy recovery system can be connected. Additionally, the device is provided with a flow distributor through the cooler, the bypass pipe and the extra pipe, and a controller for controlling these temperature control devices at the outlet of the compressor element.

Method for preventing condensate in the oil of an oil-injected compressor (), characterised in that before the compressor element () is stopped, when the maximum pressure (pmax) in the consumer network () has been reached, the compressor element continues to be driven until the temperature (T) of the oil or the compressed gas is lower than a set fixed or calculated minimum value (Tmin) above which there is no or as little condensate as possible in the oil.

Method for the removal of organic components from a mixture of organic components and water having the steps of guiding the mixture through at least one vessel () in which has been provided an amount of organoclay () in at least one removable casing () which is permeable to liquids and gasses but not to organoclay particles, or on a supporting structure () from where the organoclay particles cannot come off, such that the amount of organoclay particles is at any time part of a removable entity; and of producing a flow through the aforesaid mixture in this vessel ().
