Absolutely Oil-free Compressed Air - Pure Water Condensate
The complex cleaning process is carried out in
multi-stage filter lines with for example deep-bed filters;
active charcoal filters and extended surface filters.
The result: high investment costs and use of
considerable space for filter line.
High maintenance and operating costs due to short
lifetimes in comparison to the unique ROTORCOMP system. As the
lifetime of filter elements depends on many factors such as
ambient temperature, initial oil concentration and relative
humidity of the compressed air, operational reliability can
only be guaranteed to any extent if generous safety buffers
are built into the system.
The result: unnecessarily high costs, as the filter element
capacity is not utilised to the full. The used filter elements
form contaminated waste and are a risk to the environment.
If external service providers are used for disposal,
the oil-water condensate has to be collected and stored until it
is picked up.
If disposal is carried out within the company itself, large sums
must be invested in oil-water separators, ultrafiltration or
emulsion splitting equipment.
Operation and maintenance are costly and time-consuming. Administration costs resulting form legal requirements as regards documentation etc. are also high.
Independently of the type of disposal that is used, the separated oil and oil slurry present a burden and a risk for the environment.
One single process for treatment of compressed air and oil-water condensate!
The oil (1) and the other hydrocarbon compounds contained in the compressed air are cracked in several stages using a physical-chemical process and oxidised with the addition of air and oxygen (2). The end products are pure water (3) and limited quantities of CO2.
The condensate contains <2mg/l hydrocarbons and can be directly returned to the natural water cycle in accordance with § 7 of the water resources law. It is so clean, you could even drink it. The compressed air which is produced is absolutely free of oil after passing the filter (<0,01 mg/m³).
Because of its compact design - only about 30% of the space necessary for a comparable active charcoal filter is needed - and the extremely long filter system lifetime of at least 10,000 operating hours, the ROTORCOMP filter system is extremely economical.
The completely new ROTORCOMP filter system sets new standards in economic and ecological efficiency.
