[ ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER ]

The Activated Carbon Filter system are used for the purification of compressed air and in particular to remove all traces of Oil in gaseous form. The air purification process is carried out in two separate filtration stages.

The first stage consists of the Siemag Micro Coalesor which will reduce the liquid oil content in the air down to 0.01 mg/m3 (at 200C), whilst removing all free water and dirt particles down to 0.01 micron. Liquid contamination is drained away automatically. The specially developed filter cartridge located in the second stage contains a deep bed of activated carbon through which all the air must pass. This cartridge optimises the air velocity and contact time which after filtration can result in oil levels down to 0.005 mg/m3. A long service life, typically twelve months (Under Tested conditions) is offered by this filter cartridge.

A product specially designed for use within environments demanding critically clean air. This filter system is used extensively in the Hygiene, Medical & Pharmaceutical Industries. Further applications include the supply of air to precision pneumatic instrumentation. This quality of air also meets international standards for breathing apparatus. A further feature of this product is its capability to retain its efficiency at very low rates eg. less than 1% of rated flow.

ACTIVATED CARBON FILTERS
Activated carbon filters are used to remove the traces of oil in vapour form & associated tastes & odors. They are the final stage filters for cleaning of air used in critical applications. filters are designed to give 0.005 mg/m3 remaining oil content, liquid & gas.

The filter housings are of all metal construction. Differential pressure guages are available upon request. The filter combination employs both manual and automatic drain mechanisms for removal of liquid contamination. 

SELECTION AND USE
Select the filter model from the table below depending on pressure and flow rate requir- ements. Install as close as possible to the application and replace filter elements when the pressure loss reaches 0.8 bar. For applica- tions with a high degree of contamination the use of pre-filtration is recommended. These are available upon request. the best results are obtained when the filter system is used at an operating temperature of 250 C or lower.
