The Stages of Medical-Grade Compressed Air Purification

What are the purification processes in compressed air systems for medical purposes? And why are they so important in achieving increasingly waste-free productivity? First of all, let’s clarify the production steps of a compressor: in compressed air systems, ambient air is sucked in by the compressor, bringing with it all the contaminants it contains. In addition to these contaminants, there are also those that are naturally introduced by the compressor itself. It is therefore immediately clear that these contaminants, if not properly eliminated, can remain in the final product. So what solution can be used to minimize this risk? Parker Domnik Hunter BA-Dme is a company that offers a very efficient solution: purifiers for breathable air—used for medical purposes, in fact—that fully meet the safety requirements of the European Pharmacopoeia. In fact, air for medical use, due to its delicate nature, is one of the fundamental elements for hospital infrastructure and is one of the few substances that must necessarily be produced at the place of use. The range of breathable air purifiers produced by Parker Domnik Hunter BA-DME is ideal for protecting multiple operators – from the point of use to medium flow rates. The filters used for general purposes are capable of removing particles, impurities, and aerosols. This is followed by a second stage of filtering and purification which, through a second coalescing filter, is capable of reducing the oil and water content. The third stage uses an activated carbon filter, thus eliminating odors and oil vapors. Finally, the fourth and last stage involves the use of an absorption dryer, which aims to reduce the water vapor contained in the compressed air.
