It is easy to just buy an oil seperator and remove the oil as most compressors pass some. If you want clean air you should already have one installed, maybe an automatic tank drain also.

I would also check for overheating of your compressor, then thinning of the oil viscosity to the point where it is bypassing the rings. How warm does it get after an hour of continoues duty? You may need better air circulation around the compressor. As the temperature of the tank heats up the seperation decreases.
