Why install a condensate cleaner?
Local environmental laws and
regulations state that most of the oil contaminant must be removed
from the condensate before discharging in to the sewage system. Be
sure to check your local regulations to determine the necessary PPM
allowed to be discharged
Type of lubricants can be
separated with the PURO
The PURO was designed to separate
mineral oil, semi -and fully synthetic lubricants from condensate.
A stable emulsion formed from mineral oil or synthetic lubricants
is typically not a problem for the family of our oil-water
separators. Special elements are available for poly-glycol
applications, consult the factory.
How the PURO works
Polypropylene attracts oil and captures
it, almost as if it draws oil like a magnet. That simplicity and
our technology are at the root of the PURO's efficiency. The PURO
uses various filtration stages to achieve the lowest possible oil
residue. The first stage is an adsorption filter that utilizes a
material that is treated and designed to adsorb oil, not water.
This material naturally floats on water. An indicator that can be
seen from a distance demonstrates the life left of this element and
highlights the moment when the element requires to be changed. The
condensate flows through the filter and the oil is adsorbed. The
filter will get heavier according to the quantity of adsorbed oil
and naturally sink to the bottom of the first tower. An indicator
demonstrates when this first tower filter element requires to be
replaced. Subsequent separation stages are completed with specially
selected activated carbon to polish out the remaining
contaminants.
Why choose the
PURO
No de-rating or over-sizing (no
complicated sizing charts required) because the standard PURO
models handle virtually all types of compressor lubricants. In
addition the PURO does not incorporate/require a condensate
settling tank. Any type of condensate drain can be applied. The
PURO footprint The PURO outer dimensions are much smaller than
other condensate cleaners in the marketplace, because the PURO does
not incorporate large condensate settling reservoirs. The PURO
GRAND can be retrofitted with an XTENDER, meaning as your customer
grows his compressed air system to a larger capacity, you can
simply add the XTENDER to the GRAND. Two models and an Xtender
cover all capacities up to 2500 scfm (compressor capacity).
Health &
Safety
Large condensate settling reservoirs
(used by our competitors) can stimulate the growth of harmful
bacteria and the cause of unpleasant smells. The PURO does not
incorporate a settling reservoir, nevertheless, we recommend that
you apply the protective clothing and mask that is supplied as
standard with all PURO models and elements.
