Compressed Air/Compressors

Special Dryers For Special Applications

Everdry FRPThe Everdry product series from the compressed-air specialist Beko Technologies offers standard and bespoke solutions with numerous concepts and possibilities. The basis of the range is different standardised portfolios of heat-regenerated adsorption dryers.

Starting with the Everdry FRA in different sizes for volume flows of 600 to 20,000 m3/h. As a

Ingersoll Rand air system guidance-Intelligent Survey Audit

compressed Air AuditIn the medical community, prescription without diagnosis is known as malpractice. In compressed air, a solution without problem definition is guessing. Everyday, facilities personnel commit compressor malpractice by responding to a symptom instead of
discovering the real problem. A symptom may be low air pressure,which is certainly a problem to production, but the root cause of the low air pressure could be any number of reasons.

Improved Compressed Air System Increases Efficiency and Saves Energy at an Industrial Bakery

Sara Lee BakeryProject Summary Sara Lee now has a better compressed air system at its industrial bakery , because of an energy efficiency project recently completed. Earlier, a pressure/flow controller had failed, causing a substantial decline in the compressed air system

How Much Oil Is Your Compressed Air Allowed To Contain?

Oil controlSensitive applications such as food, electronics, medicine, painting plants, breathing air etc have to meet particularly high requirements concerning the purity of compressed air.

Activated carbon filters and adsorbers have only limited capacity to remove oil and its difficult to find the best point in time for changing elements. The concentration of oil vapours in the suction air is subject to considerable fluctuations and overloading can lead to damaged filter elements. Sudden oil break-through can cause high consequential costs.

In order to achieve higher process security in compressed air treatment Beko Instruments has developed measuring instruments for supervising the oil content. Conventional differential pressure manometers only indicate the due exchange of air de-oiling elements and fine filters. Serious defects, for example, pitting corrosion or assembly error are not covered by this device. Oil Control however, does not react to the rise of the differential pressure, but on changed remainder oil rates in the streaming compressed air. The residual oil content is measured according to the ion exchange method. The crucial advantages are:

Chergui Onshore Central Processing Facility - Instrument System

Skid mounted Compressed Air SystemMotivair Compressors Limited through their Technical Programmes operation at Brownhills in the West Midlands have successfully completed a triplex, skid mounted instrument compressed air system for installation and commissioning at the Thyna Petroleum Services project for onshore gas field processing facilities at Kerkennah Island, 30 km east of the city of Sfax, Tunisia, North Africa.

Motivair were contracted by Petrofac International based in Sharjah in the Arabian Gulf, via their UK office to design and engineer the project in 18 to 20 working weeks from receipt of the purchase order.

Motivair were able to complete the project on time and within budget to the complete satisfaction of both Petrofac International and the end user.

 

A Catalytic Converter For Pure Compressed Air

BekokatCompressed-air processing at its finest: oil-free and dry, compressed-air class 1 and better. Produced in a single process step after compression. Bekokat, the innovative catalysis method for compressed-air processing by Beko Technologies, makes it possible.

One single system for complete compressed-air de-oiling, with pure water as condensate, which may be discharged directly into the foul sewer. With Bekokat, Beko technologies, has made a big step forward. We are talking about a catalytic system which has been developed and optimised specifically for the total oxidation of hydrocarbons in compressed air. Association of the name used in the automotive industry is deliberate. Because everybody has already heard of catalytic converters for petrol and diesel engines. Here, contaminants in the waste gas, in particular hydrocarbons, are combusted to carbon dioxide and water vapour.

Bekokat technology now also makes good use of this principle for compressed air.  In the compressed air of oil-lubricated compressors, hydrocarbons are available in the form of lubricants and oils, and further air components in the form of gas, vapour and aerosols.  They are sufficiently well-known as impurities and condensate and require, depending on the application, extensive filtration, discharge and condensate processing. The innovative Bekokat systems fully convert these very substances into carbon dioxide and water.

Maintenance With one Swift Movement

Bekomat 31/32The new Bekomat 31/32 condensate drains made by Beko Technologies now consist of only two element groups. Thanks to their novel construction principle, complete maintenance can be carried out with one single movement.

Considerable advantages as far as maintenance and cost-effectiveness are concerned: these are the characteristic features of the new Bekomat 31/32 devices. The new generation condensate drains are subdivided into two modules only: the service unit which, in its non-corroding aluminium housing, combines all maintenance components and the electronic control and sensor unit, which only needs to be installed once. Both units are coupled via a practical quick connector.

This concept allows the completely simple replacement of any maintenance and wear-relevant parts by only the fast replacement of the service unit which was checked by the manufacturer.
