Oil free air from lubricated compressors
A constant supply of oil-free compressed air with a barely detectable maximum residual oil content - this is what the new catalyst system from compressed air specialist Beko Technologies delivers
Catalytic converter for pure compressed air
Bekokat, the innovative catalysis method for compressed-air processing by Beko Technologies, provides oil-free and dry, compressed-air, class 1 and better, in a single process step after compression
The aim of the course was to teach delegates about practical testing procedures as well as legislative issues and production methods.
Midland Medical are a leading supplier and installer of medical gas installations worldwide.
As part of the course, the new Bekokat from Beko Technologies was tested.
Bekokat is a device designed to remove all trace of hydrocarbons, including oils, from compressed air systems.
It has particular relevance in the food and medical sectors.
A Bekokat CC060 was installed after the oil lubricated compressor installed in the training room, and the compressed air content was analysed downstream.
The results were conclusive: oil content was below the measurable range- that is, less than 0.1 mg/m3.
In fact, Bekokat delivers oil content below 0.001 mg/m3!! The advantages of Bekokat over carbon based oil removal systems are clear:.
* System security with fail-safe alarm and monitoring.
* Total quality of compressed air, regardless of ambient conditions (Something not possible with oil-free compressors).
Beko Technologies also offer a range of compressed air monitoring equipment.
This includes MedBAC, a device which monitors oxygen, carbon monoxide and dioxide, water vapour, oil vapour, sulphur dioxide and nitrous gases in real time.
MedBAC has an alarm system that notifies the user if any gas levels in compressed air rise above a pre-determined level.
This is the first such device on the market at a realistic price. Request a free brochure from Beko Technologies ...
