Catalytic converter
Catalytic converter technology for oil-free compressed air: BEKOKAT®
Highest process reliability through continuous process monitoring
Do you not want to make any compromises in your production with regard to compressed air quality? Do you want to make sure at all times that the compressed air complies with ISO class 1 or better, i.e. that it contains no oil or germs? Then the TÜV-certified and by neutral institutes validated catalytic converter BEKOKAT is an interesting solution.
ISO 8573-1 Class 1 or better
In highly sensitive applications, conventional compressed air preparation has technical and economic limits when it comes to particularly high requirements on the residual oil content of the compressed air. The catalytic converter BEKOKAT sets new standards in this respect by completely converting hydrocarbons into carbon dioxide and water through total oxidation on the catalyst. The process thus consistently produces oil-free compressed air with a maximum residual oil content of hardly measurable 0.003 milligrams per cubic meter. With this performance, the BEKOKAT units exceed the residual oil content of 0.01 mg/m³ specified in Class 1. In other words, a quality that is required in particularly demanding production processes, e.g. in the food, pharmaceutical, automotive and electronics industries.
Can be retrofitted in existing plants
The BEKOKAT unit is installed as a stand-alone solution behind the compressors or on the consumption point installed.
BEKOKAT® – independent of ambient conditions
The intake air for compressed air generation is usually contaminated with hydrocarbons. Even with oil-free compressed air generation, a treatment solution is therefore required. The catalytic converter BEKOKAT reliably cleans the compressed air and thus constantly provides oil-free compressed air better than class 1 according to ISO 8573-1. The catalytic compressed air treatment breaks down all hydrocarbons in the compressed air into carbon dioxide and water. Due to process temperatures above 150°C, the escaping compressed air behind the BEKOKAT is free of germs, bacteria and viruses.
Independent of ambient temperature, air humidity and oil input concentration
