Compressed air is one of the safest power sources available, and also one of the cleanest! However, one area which is often overlooked is condensate management.
Compressed air always contains moisture when it is first generated, this can cause many problems downstream if it isn’t promptly dealt with. Condensate can be collected via the compressor aftercooler, with the rest being dealt with by water separators, filters, a refrigeration or adsorption dryer later on in the system.
The important point to bear in mind is that efficient removal of condensate is vital- the proven safest method is via an electronic condensate drain with intelligent function. The BEKOMAT from BEKO is the trend setter here, with more than 1.5 million installations worldwide. BEKOMAT is used by every major compressor and air treatment manufacturer and is rightly trusted for it’s amazing reliability and durability.
Once condensate is successfully removed from the compressed air system it must be properly treated before discharge to the foul sewer- bear in mind that condensate is not just water: it’s an aggressive cocktail of water, oil, dirt and other nasties which you certainly don’t need in your drinking water! BEKO provide two systems for treating condensate...
OWAMAT is suitable for the vast majority of condensates and is simple to install and very effective: Setting the trend for over twenty five years.
For larger or more difficult condensates (High pressure or some synthetic oils for example) we recommend BEKOSPLIT- an active system which exceeds all current water industry standards regardless of oil types and emulsification.
