Air Treatment & Condensation Management

During the compression process, compressors turn humidity in the intake air into condensate. If not removed, condensate will cause wear and corrosion in your pipework and equipment. This can lead to costly production interruptions and reduce the efficiency and service life of your equipment. Refrigeration, Adsorption and Desiccant dryers prevent these negative consequences by removing water from compressed air and are integral for quality air treatment.

Filters are recommended for all compressed air systems to improve air quality. Improved air quality benefits your pipework, dryers, and pneumatic tools. Air should be filtered in stages by using two or three filters. If you only use a single filter, it will likely get blocked causing you to lose air pressure, suffer reduced air quality, or replace your filter elements prematurely.

Automatic drains discharge condensate from your compressed air system to protect your equipment from corrosion and wear. The benefit over traditional timer drains is automatic drains only operate when condensate is detected, ensuring only water is discharged, saving energy, and keeping sound low.

Air receivers (also referred to as air tanks) are suitable for all compressed air applications. Air receivers are especially useful for storing high quantities of air to meet instant demand and compensating pressure differences to guarantee a stable airflow.

Air compressors produce potentially harmful, oil-rich condensates that require special treatment before you can legally dispose of them. Oil-water separators (OWS) remove the oil to leave water which meets environmental standards for safe disposal.
