Compressed air treatment
Compressed air treatment
Compressed air systems require the removal of impurities such as dust, fumes, oil vapour, chemicals, and moisture to ensure efficient operation. This document outlines the methods and equipment used in the treatment of compressed air, focusing on the separation of dirt, water, and oil.
Compressed air contains moisture that must be extracted depending on the application. Methods include cyclone separators, refrigeration dryers, and adsorption dryers, each offering different dew point capabilities. Proper moisture management prevents network moisture, icing, and component wear.
To remove particles and oil, filters such as coarse filters, microfilters, submicrofilters, activated carbon filters, and adsorbers are recommended. These methods help achieve the required purity classes for various applications.
Compressed air tanks are used to store air, with size determined by specific calculations. Proper storage ensures a steady supply of clean air.
The document details the quality classes for compressed air, specifying limits for solid impurities, humidity, and total oil content. These standards guide the selection of treatment methods to meet specific application needs.
The document describes various ALMiG products for air treatment, including:
- Filters (AFP, AFM, AFS, AFC): Ensure clean air by removing particles and oil aerosols.
- Cyclone Separator (AS): Removes liquid water and dirt particles from compressed air.
- Condensate Drain (ALM-D): Drains condensate without air loss, preventing corrosion and energy loss.
- Refrigeration Dryer (ALM-RD): Provides reliable drying for oil-free and flavour-neutral air.
- Activated Carbon Adsorber (ALM-AC/CAC): Ensures oil-free condensate.
- Oil/Water Separator (ALM-OWS): Separates oil from water in condensate.
The document emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate treatment components based on specific requirements and conditions. It also highlights the benefits of using ALMiG's comprehensive range of products for efficient and safe compressed air treatment.

The CCDA C dryers operate at a nominal throughput ranging from 8.4 to 162 m3/h, with dimensions and weight varying by model. They are designed to function at an operating pressure of 4-16 bar and ambient temperatures from +1°C to +50°C. The pressure dew point can be set at -20°C, -40°C, or -70°C.
The document includes tables for correction factors at different operating temperatures and pressures, which are crucial for adjusting the dryer performance based on specific environmental conditions.
The dryers are compact, space-saving, and maintenance-friendly. They include pre- and after-filters, a high-performance desiccant, and a downstream activated carbon oil vapor adsorber. The ALM-CDA model offers both PLC (time-based) and LCS (load-dependent) control systems for efficient operation.
ALMiG dryers are suitable for industrial applications requiring high-quality compressed air. They feature welded vessels according to ASME or PED standards, self-cleaning systems, and energy-saving controls. The ALM-WDA model uses a vacuum system for lower evaporation temperatures, enhancing energy efficiency.

ALMiG treatment products CLEAN COMPRESSED AIR Economical and safe treatment of compressed air To produce one cubic metre of compressed air with an overpressure of 10 bar, a compressor has to suck in eleven cubic metres of ambient air. Together with this air, it also sucks in all the impurities it contains, just like a large vacuum cleaner: dust, fumes, oil vapour, chemicals, etc. Added to this is the natural air humidity. Despite high-quality intake filters, all these components of the intake air are found in the compressed air. The substances that were distributed over eleven cubic metres of...

ALMiG treatment products AFP, AFM, AFS, AFC FILTERS Compressed air filters guarantee clean compressed air to satisfy very stringent requirements. They can be used in a multitude of applications - wherever compressed air is required clean, dry or free of oil aerosols. It's a huge undertaking, especially when you consider the fact that more than two billion particles and liquid molecules can be present in 1 m3 of compressed air at a compression end pressure of 10 bar. This is an undertaking to which the ALMiG heavy-duty filters are perfectly suited. Equipment features: • Standard version including...

ALMiG treatment products CYCLONE SEPARATOR AS The cyclone separators are developed for treating compressed air in industrial areas of use. They are used to remove liquid water from the compressed air, that is drawn in the ambient air due to air humidity and precipitates in the aftercooler. This condensate also contains particles of dirt and aerosols. It is always a good idea to use a cyclone separator when a refrigeration dryer is installed directly downstream of the compressor so that less condensate precipitates in the refrigeration dryer. The high centrifugal forces in the cyclone separator...

ALMiG treatment products OIL-WATER SEPARATOR ALM-OWS Condensate is produced when generating compressed air. This condensate is contaminated with oil, which is drawn in from the surrounding air and used in the compressor stage for cooling. Because the contaminated condensate must not be discharged into the sewer system, it has to be separated from the oil. The ALM-OWS series of oil-water separators reliably removes oil from any condensate produced in compressed air systems. In order to reliably separate the oil from the water, the condensate passes through several stages of separation and is filtered...
