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.

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)

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)
