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.

The ID15-SW is what a compressed dryer should be: simple, reliable, effective and manufactured from quality heavy duty materials that will probably outlast the compressor and every other tool in your shop. The Van Air Systems Inline Desiccant Dryers can supply a -40°F pressure dew point and are ideal for pneumatic equipment or instruments that require small volumes (up to 15 SCFM at 100 psig) of extremely dry air or gas. The ID15-SW uses a convenient color changing desiccant cartridge (model SG23; one cartridge is included) to adsorb water vapor from the compressed air line. A sight window on the body of the dryer is present to view the condition of the silica gel, which turns from blue to pink when saturated with moisture, signaling that it's time to replace the cartridge. Replacing the In-line Dryer cartridge is a quick procedure. No tools are needed and there is no handling of desiccant involved. Changing the cartridge only takes minutes. No regular maintenance is required. The dryer has a range of ideal uses, from pneumatic control systems to spray painting to drying natural gas. The dryer is constructed of cast aluminum and finished with a chip resistant powder coating. Features and Benefits -40â° F pressure dew point Initial SG23 desiccant cartridge included Manual depressurization valve Low pressure drop, less than 1 PSID at rated conditions Industrial grade materials of construction Applications Point-of-use drying for intermittent flows Air/gas instruments Control gas Small flows of fuel gas Pneumatic tools Fuel gas for thermoelectric generators Paint shops Downloads Brochure Manual Drawing

Silica gel is a spherical bread consisting of 97% silica and 3% alumina with a highly porous surface and a strong affinity for adsorbing water. Silica gel is also applied as a selective adsorbent for a wide-range of hydrocarbons, C02, siloxanes, sulfur, and many other compounds. Because silica gel fractures in the presence of liquid water, it is often protected with a pre-bed of activated alumina. In air and gas drying applications, dew points of -40°F and lower can be achieved with silica gel. Features and Benefits High moisture retention capacity under dynamic conditions, allowing heated desiccant dryers with a higher design capacity and lower regeneration temperature A uniform bead shape provides for a lower pressure drop and less abrasion than granular types of silica gel. Available in two types, non-indicating and indicating. Indicating silica gel is impregnated with a moisture indicator that changes color from blue to pink when saturated. High static adsorption (moisture retention) under certain relative humidity conditions Available in indicating (blue to pink) and non-indicating Available in 25lb pails, 50lb bags and 330lb steel drums Downloads Brochure Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

Dry-O-Lite, the industry-leading deliquescent desiccant, is a chemical drying agent specifically formulated for Van Air Systems single tower compressed air dryers and natural gas pipeline dryers. Dry-O-Lite is a dense hygroscopic tablet that absorbs water vapor from streams of compressed air or gas. The surface of the desiccant tablet dissolves slowly, forming a brine solution which drops from the surface. The tablet continuously dissolves, or deliquesces, until the desiccant is fully consumed. In a properly sized D-series Compressed Air Dryer or Pipeline Dryer, Dry-O-Lite will establish a relative humidity of 55%, which equates to a dew point approximately 20°F lower than the temperature of the compressed air or gas at the inlet of the dryer. *Also known as GasDry Prime Features and Benefits No energy consumption Prevents condensation Can be used indoors or outdoors Prevents wintertime air and gas line freeze-ups Environmentally safe Low cost of operation relative to refrigerated dryers and regenerative desiccant dryers 3/4" tablet Little or no maintenance on drying equipment Available in 50lb bags, 50lb pails, 506lb steel drums and 2,000lb bulk bags Applications Abrasive blasting Portable air drying Low pressure gases, e.g. digester gas and landfill gas Remote outdoor locations without electricity Fuel gas dehydration for natural gas Ready-mix, asphalt, and concrete plants Pulp and paper Steel mills Dirty environments or areas with electrical classification restrictions Downloads Brochure Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

The D2 is a simple and effective point-of-use compressed air dryer, ideal for small shops and DIY enthusiasts. Attach air lines to the dryer’s half inch female ports, installing it just before your filter-regulator. Add Dry-O-Lite desiccant and start delivering clean dry air to your paint gun, blast cabinet, plasma cutter, or air tool. Open the D2’s ball valve periodically to drain liquid. When shopping for an air dryer, look closely at the cost of replacement filters and media, not just the initial price. Too many competing small dryers saddle you with a razor-razorblade model. Great initial price. Highway robbery thereafter. With the D2 it’s a different story. Cheaper initial-price dryers are out there. But as they say, don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. No small dryer will cost you less to own and operate than the D2. Features Includes (2) 1.25 lb. pouches of DRY-O-LITE (each pouch is sufficient to completely fill the D2 dryer once) Manual drain valve Sight window for checking desiccant level Epoxy interior coating PVC bed support grid Applications Paint guns Blast cabinets Air tools Actuators Downloads Brochure Manual

Silica gel is a spherical bread consisting of 97% silica and 3% alumina with a highly porous surface and a strong affinity for adsorbing water. Silica gel is also applied as a selective adsorbent for a wide-range of hydrocarbons, C02, siloxanes, sulfur, and many other compounds. Because silica gel fractures in the presence of liquid water, it is often protected with a pre-bed of activated alumina. In air and gas drying applications, dew points of -40°F and lower can be achieved with silica gel. Features and Benefits High moisture retention capacity under dynamic conditions, allowing heated desiccant dryers with a higher design capacity and lower regeneration temperature A uniform bead shape provides for a lower pressure drop and less abrasion than granular types of silica gel. Available in two types, non-indicating and indicating. Indicating silica gel is impregnated with a moisture indicator that changes color from blue to pink when saturated.

The D2 is a simple and effective point-of-use compressed air dryer, ideal for small shops and DIY enthusiasts. Attach air lines to the dryer’s half inch female ports, installing it just before your filter-regulator. Add Dry-O-Lite desiccant and start delivering clean dry air to your paint gun, blast cabinet, plasma cutter, or air tool. Open the D2’s ball valve periodically to drain liquid. When shopping for an air dryer, look closely at the cost of replacement filters and media, not just the initial price. Too many competing small dryers saddle you with a razor-razorblade model. Great initial price. Highway robbery thereafter. With the D2 it’s a different story. Cheaper initial-price dryers are out there. But as they say, don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. No small dryer will cost you less to own and operate than the D2. Features Includes (2) 1.25 lb. pouches of DRY-O-LITE (each pouch is sufficient to completely fill the D2 dryer once) Manual drain valve Sight window for checking desiccant level Epoxy interior coating PVC bed support grid Applications Paint guns Blast cabinets Air tools Actuators Downloads Brochure Manual

FAQS
- Industrial filtration is the process of removing unwanted contaminants — solid particles, liquids, gases, and biological material — from air, water, process fluids, and gas streams in manufacturing and processing facilities. It is important because contamination directly impacts product quality, equipment life, worker safety, and regulatory compliance. Without effective filtration, particulates damage pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and instrumentation; airborne dust creates explosion hazards and respiratory risks; and product contamination leads to batch rejection, customer complaints, and regulatory violations. Filtration technologies span a wide range — from simple Y-strainers that catch pipe debris to sub-micron cartridge filters that purify pharmaceutical-grade liquids, from bag filters handling high-volume process streams to coalescing filters that remove oil aerosols from compressed air. The right filtration strategy protects capital equipment, ensures product meets specification, keeps workers safe, and helps facilities comply with EPA, OSHA, FDA, and other regulatory requirements.
- Choosing the right filter starts with four questions: what are you filtering (liquid, gas, air, or steam), what contaminants are you removing (particles, oil, water, biological material), what particle size must be captured (measured in microns), and what flow rate and pressure does the system require? For liquid filtration, bag filters and cartridge filters are the primary options — bag filters handle higher flow rates and larger particle loads cost-effectively, while cartridge filters provide finer filtration down to sub-micron levels. For gas and compressed air filtration, particulate filters remove solid particles, coalescing filters remove oil and water aerosols, and adsorption filters remove oil vapor and odors. For pipeline protection, strainers (Y-strainers and basket strainers) are installed upstream of pumps, valves, and instruments to catch large debris. For airborne dust and particulate, dust collectors with cartridge or bag filtration media capture contaminants at the source. The operating environment, chemical compatibility, temperature, and regulatory requirements further narrow the selection to the correct filter type, media material, and housing configuration.
- A micron rating indicates the size of the smallest particles a filter is designed to capture, measured in micrometers (µm). One micron is one-millionth of a meter — for reference, a human hair is roughly 70 microns in diameter, and bacteria are typically 0.5 to 5 microns. Filters are available from coarse ratings (100–200 microns for large debris) down to sub-micron ratings (0.01–1 micron for fine particulate, oil aerosols, and biological contaminants). Selecting the right micron rating depends on what you are protecting downstream and the quality specification your process requires. A coarse strainer (40–100 microns) upstream of a pump protects the pump from pipe scale and debris. A 5–25 micron bag or cartridge filter in a process line removes visible particulates. A 1 micron or finer cartridge filter is needed for pharmaceutical, food and beverage, or electronics manufacturing applications where product purity standards are stringent. Also consider whether you need a nominal rating (captures a percentage of particles at the stated size) or an absolute rating (captures virtually all particles at the stated size) — absolute-rated filters provide higher assurance for critical applications.
- Filter replacement or cleaning frequency depends on the contaminant load, flow rate, filter type, and how you monitor filter condition. The most reliable indicator is differential pressure — the pressure drop across the filter measured between the inlet and outlet. A clean filter has a low differential pressure; as the filter captures contaminants, the media becomes increasingly restricted and the differential pressure rises. Most filter housings include differential pressure gauges or ports for gauges. When the differential pressure reaches the manufacturer's recommended maximum (typically 15–35 psi for liquid filters, 2–10 psi for gas filters), the filter element should be replaced or cleaned. Operating beyond the maximum differential pressure risks filter bypass, media collapse, or contaminant breakthrough. In practice, many facilities establish a time-based replacement schedule as a baseline (monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually depending on conditions) and supplement it with differential pressure monitoring. Applications with highly variable contaminant loads benefit most from continuous differential pressure monitoring with alarms set at warning and change-out thresholds.
