SP PureKAT provides a dependable solution for applications requiring consistently high-quality, oil-free compressed air. Using catalytic conversion technology, PureKAT breaks down hydrocarbons in the compressed air stream into water and carbon dioxide rather than simply capturing them in conventional filtration media.
The system can achieve residual oil levels of ≤0.003 mg/m³, providing compressed air that meets ISO 8573-1 Class 1 oil quality requirements. The catalytic process also produces amicrobic and spore-free compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-7, making PureKAT well suited for demanding applications where air purity and process reliability are critical.
PureKAT can be used with either oil-lubricated or oil-free compressor systems and maintains stable air quality even as operating conditions and hydrocarbon levels fluctuate. This gives facilities a practical way to create a dedicated high-purity compressed air supply without relying solely on the compressor itself to determine final air quality.
High-Purity Air
Achieves residual oil levels of ≤0.003 mg/m³ for demanding compressed air applications.
Catalytic Hydrocarbon Removal
Hydrocarbons are converted through catalytic oxidation into water and carbon dioxide instead of simply being collected in filter media.
Consistent Air Quality
Maintains stable residual oil levels regardless of normal changes in ambient hydrocarbon concentration.
Works With Any Compressor Type
Can be incorporated into systems using either oil-lubricated or oil-free compressor technology.
Germ-Free Compressed Air
Designed to produce amicrobic and spore-free compressed air in accordance with ISO 8573-7.
Partial-Load Operation
Maintains process reliability as compressed air demand and production requirements fluctuate.
Self-Recovery
Designed to recover after temporary increases in oil carryover, such as an upstream oil-separation or filtration issue.
Intelligent Controls
Integrated controls monitor system operation to maintain process safety and operating accuracy.
Energy-Efficient Operation
An integrated heat exchanger recovers process heat, reducing the amount of electrical power required during normal operation.
