COMPRESSORS Built for a lifetime. Kaeser’s Activated carbon Towers (KAT) are single tower pressure vessels filled with activated carbon adsorbent, that virtually eliminate oil vapor in compressed air. Other hydrocarbon vapors normally adsorbable by activated carbon are also removed. KAT’s are used where oil vapor and odor contaminate end products such as food and drugs, or when the odor makes the environment uncomfortable. Activated carbon works by adsorbing contaminants onto the surface of its internal pores. This process continues until it is saturated. When this occurs, the spent activated carbon should be removed and replaced. Easy Installation The KAT only requires piping connection for complete installation. For best performance, the KAT should be installed after a refrigerated air dryer. Using a Kaeser coalescing oil removal filter as a prefilter will greatly extend the life of the carbon bed. A Kaeser particulate filter installed after the KAT will prevent carbon dust and other solid Tower Features: • Long life when facing high inlet oil vapor concentrations • Removes oil vapor and the oily smell associated with compressed air • Provides outlet oil vapor concentrations of less than 0.01 ppm w/w • Carbon bed lasts in excess of 8,800 hours* • Tower design prevents bed movement and carbon degradation (dusting) at maximum flow • Large beds ensure sufficient contact time to produce the rated (0.01 ppm w/w) oil vapor outlet concentration • Separate fill and drain ports allow easy carbon replacement - no piping to disconnect • ASME coded vessels (6” and larger) • Stainless steel support screens and flow diffusers prevent channeling • Lifting lugs for easy transport *at rated flow and 100°F inlet air saturated with oil vapor contaminants from going downstream and harming equipment.
