Intake Air Filter Features
NAFCO filter housings are constructed from rugged welded steel and offer a long service life installed outdoors or indoors. Housings can be mounted directly to equipment or inlet piping (connection sizes from ½ to 60). NAFCOs Crystal-line intake air filter system helps remove corrosive chemical contaminants from compressed air. Trace quantities of hydrogen sulfide, benzene, and other chemical contaminants are present in the air around industrial sites. These chemicals create corrosion and damage compressor internals and downstream equipment. Crystal-line 4-Stage System
Crystal-line Technology
Crystal-line media contains impregnated zeolite and impregnated activated carbon. Model CLI uses potassium permanganate to adsorb corrosive gases through oxidation. Model CLI is low dusting. Compared to competitive alumina chemisorbents CLI produces 90% less dust. Model CLII features impregnated activated carbon specially enhanced to remove selective acid gases and chlorides. CLII uses a high quality coconut shell granular activated carbon with a surface area if 1100 M2 per gram.
Compressed Air Coalescing Filters and Particulate Filters Pneumatic Products manufactures premium high quality replacement coalescing filters and particulate filters for compressed air systems.
Automatic Drain Valves
Drain valves remove sludge and liquid from compressed air systems. Automatic drain valves should be installed at each liquid collection point in a compressed air system, including:Removing water and sludge with an automatic drain valve helps your compressed air system run more efficiently reducing your utility cost. Air System Products, Inc. (ASP) Drain Valves Sure-Drain
The Sure-Drain is an optimized ball valve. Ball valves reliably drain unwanted accumulations from air systems. The straight through flow and positive closing action delivers trouble-free operation. The Sure-Drain uses a small coupling to connect the ball valve to the gear motor eliminating any small misalignments and reducing the risk of premature ball valve failure. Drain cycles can be set between 1 and 50 minutes. The valve opens for 5 seconds each cycle. Timing is controlled via a simple programmable solid state timing control accessible from the outside.Features
Posi-Drain
Air Systems Products Posi-Drain drains water, oil sludge, and scale from filters, air receivers, dryers, separators, aftercoolers, and other compressed air system equipment. The Posi-Drain works dependably in heavy contaminant applications such as compressed air condensate draining because of its self-cleaning valve and straight through flow design.Features
Posi-Drain Brochure (pdf format) Robo Drain
Air System Products' Robo Drain is a state-of-the-art demand operated drain. The unit is fully automated. Pneumatic power is used eliminating the need for electricity. The Robo Drain uses magnetic force to ensure a positive opening and closing action. The Robo Drains unique design places the magnetic force out of range of contaminant to stop metal particles from being attracted to the magnets. Additionally, its ball valve positioning and support prevents side-loading.

Air Receivers from two inches to 12 feet. A large line of stock air receivers and custom air receivers with special fixturing, internal weldments, and tight tolerances are available. Both coded and non-coded tanks are available. Fluid Energy Industrial will work with you to meet any special local codes. In general at a minimum, local codes require air receivers to be ASME coded vessels.
Aftercoolers Aftercoolers can cool compressed air flows from 35 to 4,000 scfm to within 10°F approach of the ambient air temperature for air-to-air exchangers and 10°F approach of inlet air temperature for shell-and-tube exchangers. PPC's aftercoolers are rated to 400°F and 250 psig with a maximum pressure drop of 3 psi. Used with an oil/water separator and an automatic drain valve an aftercooler will remove up to 90 percent of the water in a compressed air system.
Mechanical Separators
Pneumatic Products' PSS Separators remove 90% of entrained water from compressed air when used in conjunction with an aftercooler. Mechanical Separators use centrifugal and direct interception methods to capture the entrained liquid from the compressed air stream. Features of PPC's PSS Separators include:
Mist Eliminators
Sentry Mist Eliminators
Problem: Compressed air system coalescing and particulate filters cannot handle excessive water and oil loads. It is common for the amount of moisture exiting the aftercooler to exceed 200 PPMw. Most traditional coalescing filters are not efficient when challenged with loads greater than 20 PPMw.Solution: Sentry Mist Eliminators can easily handle 200 PPMw. Actually, the Sentry Mist Eliminator can remove 99.5% of all liquid loads up to 30,000 PPMw. How it Works: The thick packed-bed filter design continuously drains itself as liquids coalesce, quietly dropping to the sump for draining. Face velocities are extremely low virtually eliminating the possibility of liquid re-entrainment. Benefits
Oil/Water Separators Carryover oil from oil-lubricated compressors exits the compressed air system with the condensate produced at aftercooler/separators, wet air receivers, coalescing filters and refrigerated air dryers. The EPA has found oil latent condensate is unsafe to discharge to surface waters, sanitary sewers, or waste treatment facilities. Oil is only a small portion of the condensate. By using an oil/water separator you can remove oil from condensate allowing the discharge of the water portion by conventional means. The oil still needs to be properly disposed of, but at a much lower cost than the original large volume of oil and water condensate.
Intermediate Controllers
Intermediate controllers, also known as demand controllers or pressure flow controllers, are essential in eliminating artificial demand in your compressed air system. Installed downstream of a large supply side pressure vessel, the demand controller accurately controls the pressure to the demand side of the plant. With this configuration, the compressors can run at the most efficient pressure and handle the base load requirement for the plant while the useable storage handles peaks in demand. All other compressors can then be shut down.Because the demand controller responds much faster to changes in plant pressure than compressor controls do, large demand side pressure swings are eradicated. Higher pressure causes a system to use more air, so by controlling pressure swings you eliminate artificial demand. Installing one controller can help reduce your overall operating cost. Cost reduction opportunities exist on both the supply and the demand side of a compressed air system, but 2/3 of those opportunities are present on the demand side out in the plant, and generally require low capital expenditures. To give an example of how substantial the savings can be from reducing your compressed air operating costs, think in terms of product sales vs. operating costs. Increasing sales annually by $1,000,000 at 10% profit has the same value as reducing operating costs on the compressed air system by $100,000. Reducing your operating costs by $100,000 can be easier done often than increasing sales by ten times that amount. Since the average cost to operate a compressor is $55,000 annually, and considering that most plants have multiple compressors, you can see the potential to optimize air efficiency and save money. Installing an intermediate controller in your compressed air system is a good step towards reducing your plants compressed air costs. Intermediate Controller Features and Benefits
