11.12.6. Druckbehälter für Trinkwasser dürfen nur mit nicht verunreinigter Druckluft betrieben werden. Stammt die Druckluft aus Druckbehältern, die dem Betrieb des Schiffes oder anderen Zwecken dienen, oder wird sie mit Hilfe von Kompressoren erzeugt, so muß unmittelbar vor den Druckbehälter für Trinkwasser ein Luftfilter oder Entöler angeordnet sein, es sei denn, das Trinkwasser ist von der Druckluft durch eine Membrane getrennt.

11.12.6. Pressurized water cisterns for potable water must operate only on compressed air of natural composition. If the compressed air is obtained from pressurized receptacles used to operate the vessel or for other purposes, or produced by means of compressors, an air filter or oil separator must be installed directly in front of the pressurized water cistern unless the water and the air are separated by diaphragms.

de-oiler / de-oiling filter/system

Not too much to be said here really, given that an almost literal translation is well possible (IMHO, as long as we don't go into the specifics of the de-oiling itself ...)

We can also leave out the "air" part, especially if it gets mentioned earlier in the sentence ("air pressure").
