Compressed Air Solutions for Chemical & Petrochemical Plants

Core Selling Points

 

Our Class 2 PM VSD compressors (oil ≤2 mg/m³) provide stable, dry compressed air for control valves, reactor purging and conveying. PM VSD saves 30-50% energy. For instrument air that must be near oil-free, add combined dryer and activated carbon filter (oil <0.003 mg/m³). Adsorption dryers prevent winter freeze-ups (dew point -40℃). Explosion-proof option available. Two-stage 8 bar models for continuous heavy duty.
