Compressed
air is always contaminated
β’ Liquid oil - oil aerosols - oil vapor
β’ Dirt - microorganisms - pipescale
β’ Trace gases: carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide
Added by the compressor installation through oil-lubricated compressors (oil), adsorption dryers and activated carbon filters (dirt), piping
network, and vessels (pipescale)
Trash in, trash out: oil vapors from car exhausts and industrial processes, atmospheric dirt, and microorganisms get sucked in by the
compressor. As with water, their concentration β and thus importance β increases significantly after compression.
β’ Damaged production equipment, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs
β’ Air pollution, creating unhealthy work environments
β’ Pollution of the condensate
β’ Coalescing filters for oil aerosols/particles
β’ Oil vapor filters
β’ Dust filters
β’ Oil-water separators
