Commercial Filtration
Commercial filtration solutions prioritize ease of use, reliable performance, and regulatory compliance while handling moderate flow rates and contaminant loads. By removing impurities, odors, particulates, and harmful substances, commercial filtration improves health, protects equipment, and ensures a consistently pleasant environment for staff and customers.
Desiccant Air Dryers
Desiccants in compressed air dryers remove moisture to protect equipment and ensure clean, dry air. Common types like activated alumina, silica gel, and molecular sieves adsorb water vapor as air passes through. This is vital in industries like food, pharma, and electronics. Desiccants require regular regeneration or replacement to maintain dryer efficiency and system reliability.
Ball Valves
Centro offers a reliable selection of ball valves or flow control valves designed for smooth operation and long-lasting performance in a wide range of applications. These quarter-turn valves provide tight shutoff capabilities, making them ideal for use in fluid systems requiring low torque and minimal leakage.
Ball Valves are available in a variety of materials including brass, stainless steel, and PVC, our solutions support industrial needs. Whether you're managing water, oil, gas, or chemical flow, Centro's valve options ensure durability and precise control.
With configurations ranging from full port to reduced port and options for 1-piece, 2-piece, and 3-piece designs, we provide flexibility for everything from general plumbing to high-pressure industrial systems.
Explore our complete range of ball valves to find the right fit for your application or contact our experts for personalized guidance.
Drain Valves
Drain valves are essential components in fluid management systems, designed to control the flow and drainage of liquids and gases. These valves play a crucial role in various industries, ensuring the safe and efficient removal of unwanted fluids from pipelines, tanks, and other equipment. Whether it's for industrial, commercial, or residential applications, reliable drain valves help prevent leaks, maintain optimal system performance, and safeguard against potential hazards. With a wide range of materials, sizes, and configurations available, finding the perfect drain valve to suit specific needs has never been easier. Choose high-quality drain valves to enhance fluid control and maintain the integrity of your operations.

Activated alumina is an aluminum oxide bead with an extremely porous structure and high surface area-to-mass ratio. Activated alumina has a wide variety of applications, including compressed air and gas drying. In compressed air and gas drying applications, activated alumina will achieve dew points -40°F to -100°F, depending on the dryer design. In compressed air desiccant dryers, a 1/8" (2-5 mm) activated alumina bead is most commonly used. The 1/4" (5-10 mm) activated alumina bead is typically used as a pre-bed for supporting large desiccant beds or as a buffer for silica gel beds. The 3/16" (5-10 mm) bead is used when pressure drop and surface area requirements fall between the 1/8" and 1/4" material. Features and Benefits High adsorption capacity for reducing initial cost, energy consumption, and operating costs Low abrasion for ensuring minimal dusting and a low pressure drop Resistant to liquid water slugging resulting from the failure of up stream after-coolers, separators, or drain traps. The adsorption capacity of the desiccant can be restored after complete regeneration. High crush strength for limiting dusting during loading of desiccant into dryer towers Uniform bead size minimizes pressure drop, channeling, and ensures utilization of the full desiccant bed In regenerative drying systems, Van Air activated alumina beds are sized for a service life of 2-5 years Available in 25lb pails, 50lb bags, 375lb steel drums and 2,000lb bulk bags Downloads Brochure Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

In compressed air and gas drying applications, activated alumina will achieve dew points -40°F to -100°F, depending on the dryer design. In compressed air desiccant dryers, a 1/8" (2-5 mm) activated alumina bead is most commonly used. The 1/4" (5-10 mm) activated alumina bead is typically used as a pre-bed for supporting large desiccant beds or as a buffer for silica gel beds. The 3/16" (5-10 mm) bead is used when pressure drop and surface area requirements fall between the 1/8" and 1/4" material. Features and Benefits High adsorption capacity for reducing initial cost, energy consumption, and operating costs Low abrasion for ensuring minimal dusting and a low pressure drop Resistant to liquid water slugging resulting from the failure of up stream after-coolers, separators, or drain traps. The adsorption capacity of the desiccant can be restored after complete regeneration. High crush strength for limiting dusting during loading of desiccant into dryer towers Uniform bead size minimizes pressure drop, channeling, and ensures utilization of the full desiccant bed In regenerative drying systems, Van Air activated alumina beds are sized for a service life of 2-5 years Available in 25lb pails, 50lb bags, 375lb steel drums and 2,000lb bulk bags Downloads Brochure Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
