For assistance with any compressed air system question send us an email or call us at 1-215-675-8670. Compressed Air Filters Pneumatic Products manufactures premium high quality replacement coalescer and particulate filters for compressed air systems.
Automatic Drain Valves
Drain valves remove sludge and liquid from compressed air systems. Automatic drain valves should be installed at each liquid collection point in a compressed air system, including:Removing water and sludge with an automatic drain valve helps your compressed air system run more efficiently reducing your utility cost.
Air Receivers from two inches to 12 feet. A large line of stock air receivers and custom air receivers with special fixturing, internal weldments, and tight tolerances are available. Both coded and non-coded tanks are available. IPS will work with you to meet any special local codes. In general at a minimum, local codes require air receivers to be ASME coded vessels.
Aftercoolers Aftercoolers can cool compressed air flows from 35 to 4,000 scfm to within 10°F approach of the ambient air temperature for air-to-air exchangers and 10°F approach of inlet air temperature for shell-and-tube exchangers. PPC's aftercoolers are rated to 400°F and 250 psig with a maximum pressure drop of 3 psi. Used with an oil/water separator and an automatic drain valve an aftercooler will remove up to 90 percent of the water in a compressed air system.
Mechanical Separators
Pneumatic Products' PSS Separators remove 90% of entrained water from compressed air when used in conjunction with an aftercooler. Mechanical Separators use centrifugal and direct interception methods to capture the entrained liquid from the compressed air stream. Features of PPC's PSS Separators include:
Mist Eliminators
Sentry Mist Eliminators
Problem: Compressed air system coalescing and particulate filters cannot handle excessive water and oil loads. It is common for the amount of moisture exiting the aftercooler to exceed 200 PPMw. Most traditional coalescing filters are not efficient when challenged with loads greater than 20 PPMw.Solution: Sentry Mist Eliminators can easily handle 200 PPMw. Actually, the Sentry Mist Eliminator can remove 99.5% of all liquid loads up to 30,000 PPMw. How it Works: The thick packed-bed filter design continuously drains itself as liquids coalesce, quietly dropping to the sump for draining. Face velocities are extremely low virtually eliminating the possibility of liquid re-entrainment. Benefits
Oil/Water Separators Carryover oil from oil-lubricated compressors exits the compressed air system with the condensate produced at aftercooler/separators, wet air receivers, coalescing filters and refrigerated air dryers. The EPA has found oil latent condensate is unsafe to discharge to surface waters, sanitary sewers, or waste treatment facilities. Oil is only a small portion of the condensate. By using an oil/water separator you can remove oil from condensate allowing the discharge of the water portion by conventional means. The oil still needs to be properly disposed of, but at a much lower cost than the original large volume of oil and water condensate.

N2O2 specializes in providing compressed air system audits to help you optimize your compressed air system. More information on N2O2 Desiccant
Desiccant overview Desiccant Desiccant adsorbs moisture from gas through a chemical reaction. Different desiccant adsorb more than others based on process conditions. For example activated alumina is an excellent moisture adsorber when the relative humidity is 100%. It can adsorb up to 40% its weight at 100% relative humidity. However its efficiency declines as the relative humidity falls. The most common desiccant types used to dry compressed air are...There are various grades of each type and they are available in a large variety of shapes and sizes. IPS has vast experience selecting desiccant to cost-effectively dry gas streams and can help you find the best drying solution. Contact us at 215-675-8670 or email us to discuss an optimized desiccant solution for your application. Activated Alumina
Activated alumina is an excellent all purpose desiccant for drying air and most other gases with high relative humidities. Dewpoints of -100°F can be achieved (depending on dryer). Activated alumina can be used in both heated and heatless / pressure swing dryers.![]() Activated alumina has: excellent porosity creating tortuous paths and extended surface area; high strength against crushing; and very stable physical and chemical characteristics, even in high temperature and corrosive environments. Activated Alumina
%/wt - Percent weight IPS offers custom desiccant solutions. Desiccant with different characteristics are available. Contact us at 215-675-8670 or email us to discuss an optimized desiccant solution for your application. An IPS sales engineer can work with you to select a cost-effective desiccant solution that meets or exceeds your drying requirement. Certified service technicians are also available to change your dryer's desiccant and perform all other service. Silica Gel
Silica gel is a very effective desiccant for drying air and often used to dry natural gas. Silica gel has excellent static adsorption at mid inlet relative humidity. Due to its uniform bead size and high bulk density silica gel beads minimize nesting and channeling within the dryer. Large volume drying applications use silica gel because it offers premium drying performance and an energy cost savings compared to other desiccant.Silica gel is odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive, with stable chemical and thermal characteristics. Interconnected pores form a vast surface area, silica gel can adsorb moisture 40% or up of its weight at 100% humidity.

Certified service technicians are also available to change your dryer's desiccant and perform all other service. Molecular Sieve
Molecular sieve is most effective for applications with low inlet flows and low relative humidities, (Less than 30-35%RH). A common molecular sieve application is working as a polishing layer to achieve dew points down to -120°F, and in applications for drying hydrocarbons and other exotic gases.![]() Molecular Sieve is a combination of optimized desiccant materials including: sodium potassium and calcium alumina silicate. The actual combination and materials varies depending on the product. IPS offers a wide selection of molecular sieve to meet the requirements of different drying applications. Molecular sieve is non-toxic and insoluble to water and most organic solvents. Because molecular sieve can provide the lowest possible dewpoints it is used in the most demanding and unique drying applications. Molecular Sieve
Carbon Molecular Sieve - for use with nitrogen gas generators. Separates oxygen from compressed air resulting in high quality nitrogen effluent.
