Condensate technology BEKOMAT Condensate drainage with BEKOMAT Generating compressed air always involves the formation of liquid condensate which, in most cases, contains oil. It is also contaminated with dirt particles which, if not removed, will disperse throughout an entire compressed air network. This is a very common problem and often results in elevated costs, damage and downtime. Using an electronically level-controlled BEKOMAT the condensate in the compressed air system is drained automatically. The intelligent electronics prevent compressed air losses and minimise the energy input required. Process-safe, reliable and efficient Here are the BEKOMAT key features: Unique sensor detects all kinds of condensate High dirt resistance Low maintenance Fully automatic monitoring Saves energy, costs and lowers CO 2 emissions Extensive portfolio of custom equipment for special applications more than 3 million worldwide BEKOMAT condensate drain More than 3,000,000 installed devices worldwide make BEKOMAT the industrial standard for safe and cost-effective condensate drainage. For fast installation and maintenance, BEKOMAT 31U/32U (with elbow connector for smooth connection) and 33U devices (with condensate receiver tank) are available. Thanks to the integrated service unit, complete replacement of all wearing parts is possible in one swift movement. The feed tank always remains in the compressed air system. BEKOMAT performance range Minimum Maximum For compressor performances * 2.5 m 3 /min 1,400 m 3 /min * All volume-flow indications are based upon an intake condition of 1 bar absolute and 20 C. 3

Condensate technology ÖWAMAT BEKOSPLIT Condensate processing with ÖWAMAT and BEKOSPLIT Located directly at the source, oil-water separation is a more costeffective solution for environmentally compatible condensate management than centralised treatment.
