Compressed air/condensate purification for industrial applications

Compressed air filters and condensate purification are crucial for clean and dry compressed air generation and purification in many industrial applications. They are used to remove impurities and moisture from the compressed air to prevent damage to pneumatic equipment. Such impurities are usually caused by soiling or oxidation, while moisture occurs due to the compression of the air.

Compressed air filters and condensate purification systems are available in various sizes for different volume flow rates. This ensures that the parts can fulfil the specific requirements of the filtration. There are prefilters, microfilters and activated carbon filters that are designed for different particle sizes and contaminations.

Condensate is produced when moisture in the compressed air is condensed, collects in the compressed air system in the form of water and mixes with oil. This can cause various problems.

It can attack the pipe material and cause corrosion, which can lead to cracks or holes. Such leaks can, in turn, impair the performance of the compressed air system.

The moisture can also impair the effectiveness of pneumatic equipment, as it can reduce the performance and service life of the components. Moisture, dirt and other particles can also stick inside the compressed air line, which increases the contamination and can reduce product quality.

As a result, it is important that condensed moisture is removed from the compressed air before it can make its way into the process.
