Is air conditioning condensate from individual office units and central-cooling systems at a facility considered “condensing water” under the definition and subject to reporting under the AWR?
A24: No. Condensate formed as a product of condensation from air conditioning for employee comfort and maintenance of proper working conditions is not considered wastewater and, therefore, it is exempt for reporting under sections R 299.9004(c) & (f). Condensing waters referenced in the definition of “wastewater” under R 299.9002(e) means condensation formed from a vapor of a process material OR condensation formed from process related equipment, such as an air compressor, which generally contains lubrication oil.
