Go 100% Oil-Free for High-Purity Needs

| By Chemical Engineering

This vendor’s line of electrically-powered compressors delivers from 200 to 1,500 cfm at pressures up to 150 psi, producing clean, oil-free air suitable for high-purity applications. The units are also designed with sensitive environmental considerations in mind, with a sound-attenuating canopy to keep noise levels to a minimum. All units are equipped with a 100%, oil-free, two-stage screw compressor, and offer discharge temperatures of only 20° above ambient temperature with built-in aftercoolers. The units require 480-V, three-phase, 60-Hz power and have a flexible operating-pressure range. Meanwhile, the manufacturer offers a full line of refrigerated and regenerative desiccant dryers that can be packaged with all of its compressors to provide an unlimited supply of clean, dry air where necessary. For higher pressures, the vendor offers a container-sized air compressor rental that combines diesel-based compression with electric-drive, high-pressure boosting. With electric-drive boosting, pressures can be raised to 600 psi at a flowrate of 900 cfm. — Aggreko, LLC, Houston, Tex.
