The compressed air filter: a crucial element of compressed air
Compressed air carries many contaminants which attack any compressed air system. The compressed air filter is a must!
Contaminants appear in 3 different forms:
Contaminants appear in 3 different forms:
Liquid contaminants
Mainly condensed water and oil in pipelines. Liquid water is removed by a centrifugal separator, not with a filter. Oil in fine mist form is removed by coalescing filters and automatic drains.
Solid contaminants
These are aspirated by the compressor (e.g. dust, dirt, pollen) or produced by the compression and distribution system itself (e.g. metallic particles, rust, limescale).
Contaminants in vapor state
Caused by pollution in the ambient air or by chemical reactions in the compression cycle. Hydrocarbon vapors are filtered with activated carbon. Contaminants in vapor state are treated by adsorption or catalysis.
Les classes de qualité ISO
ISO 8573-1 defines the quality classes for the different pollutants. See here the classes for: particles - Oil

PHENIX filters
More informationsCentrifugal separators - Grade WS When air is compressed, the rise in its temperature increases its capacity to transport water in the form of steam.It is then saturated with water vapour. As it cools, it loses this holding capacity and the water condenses.It is essential to remove the liquid phases from the air before the other stages of its treatment:...See product sheet -
