Mist Eliminators

Sentry Mist Eliminators

Problem: Compressed air system coalescing and particulate filters cannot handle excessive water and oil loads. It is common for the amount of moisture exiting the aftercooler to exceed 200 PPMw. Most traditional coalescing filters are not efficient when challenged with loads greater than 20 PPMw.

Solution: Sentry Mist Eliminators can easily handle 200 PPMw. Actually, the Sentry Mist Eliminator can remove 99.5% of all liquid loads up to 30,000 PPMw.

How it Works: The thick packed-bed filter design continuously drains itself as liquids coalesce, quietly dropping to the sump for draining. Face velocities are extremely low virtually eliminating the possibility of liquid re-entrainment.

Benefits

Particulate Removal - Removes 100% of all particles 3µm and greater. 99.5% removal efficiency of all particles down to 0.1µm. The Sentry Mist Eliminator has an unparalleled ability to remove both particulate and liquid from compressed air streams.

Low Pressure Drop - Sentry Mist Eliminators have pressure drops of less than 1 PSID, often for more than 10 years. Sentry mist eliminators can last 10 to 20 times longer than conventional cartridge filters.

Low Operating Cost - Using a conservative assumption that Sentry Mist Eliminators will reduce pressure drop 3 PSID as compared to conventional cartridge filters, a 1.5% efficiency gain can be achieved. For a typical 5,000 SCFM system, energy savings can easily exceed $6,000 per year and more, depending on the cost of energy.

Mechanical Separators

Pneumatic Products' PSS Mechanical Separators remove 90% of entrained water from compressed air when used in conjunction with an aftercooler. Mechanical Separators use centrifugal and direct interception methods to capture the entrained liquid from the compressed air stream. Features of PPC's PSS Separators include:

High efficiency design provides removal of large particulate and water droplets under most process conditions

Large drain port helps prevent blockage

Low pressure drop delivers economical operation

Oil/Water Separators

Carryover oil from oil-lubricated compressors exits the compressed air system with the condensate produced at aftercooler/separators, wet air receivers, coalescing filters and refrigerated air dryers. The EPA has found oil latent condensate is unsafe to discharge to surface waters, sanitary sewers, or waste treatment facilities. Oil is only a small portion of the condensate. By using an oil/water separator you can remove oil from condensate allowing the discharge of the water portion by conventional means. The oil still needs to be properly disposed of, but at a much lower cost than the original large volume of oil and water condensate.
