PROTECTING COMPRESSORS |
| Air compressors play an important role in an industrial environment, providing the compressed air to the pneumatic controls, valves, process applications, and various instruments throughout the plant. Corrosive gaseous contaminants in the intake airstream of your compressor can inhibit air flow, impede heat dissipation, and cause vibration. The end result: decreased efficiency. To protect your compressor from corrosion, Purafil offers a comprehensive Corrosion Assessment service, available through our research and development laboratory, and the Compressor Intake Filter, a dry-chemical scrubber designed to remove corrosive gases from intake air. |

Corrosion Assessment Compressor damage caused by corrosion directly affects repair costs and maintenance downtime. As part of Purafil's Corrosion Assessment service, Corrosion Classification Coupons are used to determine the level of corrosion present in your compressor's intake air. By analyzing these coupons, Purafil's laboratory can determine the types and levels of corrosive gases present in the airstream and recommend the level of filtration needed. |

Compressor Intake Filter Purafil developed the Compressor Intake Filter (CIF) to protect your compressor from corrosion. The CIF is a multi-stage, highly efficient air purification system that removes gases and particulates. Purafil's CIF is compatible with most major air compressor manufacturers, including Ingersoll-Rand, Elliott, Demag, IHI, Joy Cooper, and Atlas Copco. |
