The new carbon towers are made from the same high-quality vessels used for Hi-line’s dryers, and filled with either zeolite minerals or carbon according to the application.

Activated Carbon Towers can adsorb contaminants such as oil vapour and odour. As a result, oil levels within the compressed air can be reduced sufficiently for use in sectors where high purity levels are required, such as oxygen/nitrogen generation, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics and healthcare. Hi-line says such performance levels exceed those possible using desiccant air dryers together with associated filtration.

In the new units, compressed air flows through the activated carbon bed, adsorbing oil vapours and odours. Flow distributors are deployed to ensure uniform air distribution. Some 15 models are available, extending from 80Scfm, 136 Nm³/h to the largest, at 2000Scfm, 3400 Nm³/h. Units come with stainless steel gas distributors and are PED compliant to 2016/68 EU. R55 long-life hybrid activated carbon helps ensure reliable performance, day-in, day-out. A five-year warranty is offered as standard on parts and labour.

Vessels are held in stock at Hi-line Industries to ensure short lead-times.
