Compressed Air & Gases Filtration
|
CONTAMINATION OF COMPRESSED AIR CAN DRAMATICALLY AFFECT COSTS AND PRODUCTIVITY
|
Air on its own is contaminated with water, oil and dirt.
Once compressed, these impurities are a potential hazard.
To remove a lot of the contaminants high-efficiency coalescing filters
are used, but they do not remove water vapour. Having water in your
compressed air can cause corrosion, wear, and frozen pipes -- the
end result being product spoilage, extra maintenance and machinery
failures. This means wasted time and money.

The Solution? |
| We can give you a choice of various tools including aftercoolers,
refrigerant dryers, filters, and water separators to mention
just a few. Deciding on the best method of getting rid of oil/water
mixture is made simple by discussing the particular problem
with Fitramax filtration experts who can then determine the
best course of action. One of the perks of dealing with a distributor
with a wide selection of products to refer to. Call Filtramax
Filtration Specialists who can best determine the most appropriate
course of action to suit your application. (1-888-924-6233) |

How to environmentally treat compressed air condensate discharge without illegally discharging down drains?
|
The Problem?
|
|
Air compressors produce considerable amounts of contaminated Condensate. Atmospheric air containing moisture is drawn into compressed air systems where the moisture condenses and mixes with lubricating oils. The oil contaminated Condensate is discharged at several points - the aftercooler, air receiver, filters, dryers and down legs. Disposal of the contaminated Condensate is costly because of the relatively large volumes involved. Typically for a 1000 SCFM compressed air system, the annual volume of Condensate is about 80,000 gallons and would cost approximately $69,000 to dispose. The most cost effective solution is to treat the Condensate disposal as part of the compressed air system. Therefore by reducing oil concentration , allows the bulk volume of Condensate, which is 99% water to be discharged into conventional drains. This now relatively small amount of concentrated oil can be disposed of safely and economically.

The Solution? |
| The most cost effective solution is to treat the condensate disposal as part of the compressed air system. Reducing the oil concentration to a lower level than the permitted maximum, allows the bulk volume of clean water, up to 99.9% of the condensate, to be discharged into conventional drains. This now relatively small amount of concentrated oil can be disposed of safely and economically. |
