Filtration+Separation July/August 2016

Improved dewpoint control boosts air quality European air filter manufacturer, Hi-Line Industries Ltd, has extended its Atacama range of modular air dryers to incorporate a third filtration tower. This development ensures compliance with UK and EU standards. These include medical, pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical industries, tunnel construction, mining, diving and offshore industries. Bulk water, in liquid and gaseous form must be eliminated from the breathing air and industry standards state this should be at a pressure dewpoint not exceeding –11°C because water entering the filtration system renders the catalysts useless. So the first stage of the purification process is a desiccant air dryer. The Atacama – CT breathing air dryer is controlled by a digital controller with built-in dewpoint control. This is pre-set on the breathing air application and moves to stand-by once a dewpoint of -15°C PDP is

achieved, ensuring energy efficient secure air quality. The clean, dry air enters the desiccant dryer and a third vessel containing activated carbon and a catalyst, removes odours, taste substances and gases. Finally, a particulate filter removes dust particles and takes over from the desiccant, allowing the operator to breathe clean, dry air, free from contaminants. www.hilineindustries.com

The event will be held in conjunction with INDEX 17, one of the world’s largest nonwovens exhibitions.

Self-cleaning filter introduced to UK Croft Filters has introduced a new self-cleaning filter to the UK market through its partnership with Danish filter housing specialist, HiFlux Filtration. Designed specifically for applications where an automatic continuous cleaning process is required, the robust filters are suitable for most liquids including lubricating oil, bitumen, petrol, paint and waste water.

down to manually clean or change a filter. By reducing or avoiding downtime on a production line in this way, businesses can significantly reduce their operational costs and often find the savings made see the selfcleaning filter pay for itself within a few months. www.filters.co.uk

The cleaning process sees dirt scraped into a sludge chamber, from where it is then drained at appropriate intervals, while the filter is still in operation. This results in an absolute cleaning of the filter and, as drainage is controlled individually, the loss of medium is reduced to an absolute minimum.
