Compressed
air is one of the essential services in any industry. Unfortunately
compressed air/gas contain a considerable amount of contamination
which can have dratic effects on the equipment using it. In addition
to this, there are contaminants such as hydrocarbon vapours(from
unburnt fuels and industrial processes) and water vapour. All of
these are drawn into the compressor and their concentration increase
by the compression process. Inside the compressor, wear particles
and lubricating oil are added to the air.

OPERATION
CHARACTERISTICS:
MS-PURONICS
SYSTEM centrifugal moisture separator. For the removal
of bulk oil/water from the compressed air system.
Filter
type SB: Pre-Filtration
Sintered
bronze filter element for the removal of pipe scales, bulk liquid,
solid particles, dsut down to 5 micron. Ideal as prefilter before
line filter(Filter element regenerable).
Filter
type PF: High Efficiency General Purpose Protection
For
the removal of particles down to 1 micron including coalesced
liquid water and oil, dust, providing a maximum remaining
oil aerosol content of 0.5mg/m3 @ 21°C
Filter
type UF: High Efficiency Oil Removal Filtration(High Efficiency
filter element)
For
the removal of particles down to 0.01 micron including water
and oil aerosols, dust, providing a maximum remaining oil
aerosol content of 0.01mg/m3
(0.01 ppm) efficiency - 99.9999% @21°C(precede with Filter
type PF).[Borosilicate glass micro fibres - filter media which
actively repel oil and water to reduce pressure drop and running
costs to an absolute minimum]
Filter
type AC: Activated Carbon Filtration
For
the removal of oil and vapour and hydrocarbon odours giving
a maximum remaining oil content of < 0.003 mg/m3
(<0.003 ppm) (excluding methane) @ 21°C (precede with
Filter type PF + UF)
