| 01/08 Compressed Air Industry ENERGY MANAGEMENT | MIKROPOR AMERICA, INC. Briefly describe your product range. For the compressed air market, Mikropor manufactures air/oil separators for compressor manufacturers, refrigerated dryers, compressed air filters, inlet filters and a host of related components including float drains and differential pressure gauges. In addition to our compressed air products, Mikropor is also meeting today’s demand for high quality ambient air which is driven by increased regulation of indoor air quality and the widespread use of sensitive electronics and microprocessors in equipment. We are now a leading filtration supplier to the global HVAC market, utilities, cleanrooms and many other markets that demand high-levels of purity in ambient air. For example, we have been producing HEPA filters for cleanrooms, hospitals, labs and specialized breathing equipment for many years. This wide market exposure gives us great visibility into new developments and this is integrated into our all of our products. What are some recent innovations from Mikropor for the compressed air market? We have recently launched three products in the North American market — our new line of compressed air filters, Nano-Fiber air inlet filters and our line of Mono-Bloc MB Refrigerated Air Dryers. Our new compressed air filters feature an easy-maintenance design, no porosity in the filter body, better drainage, four grades of elements and a very reliable Auto Drain that is internal to the filter to prevent damage in handling and installation. We are also introducing our new line of Intake Filters for compressors, blowers and engines. The new filters feature High-Efficiency NanoFiber media and deliver better protection and longer service life for the air/oil separator, lubricant and oil filter. Our 99.99% initial efficiency provides increased protection over traditional cellulose filters by allowing fewer contaminants to pass through the media over the full life of the filter. In addition, our media is moisture resistant so it lasts longer and holds up to five times more contaminants than cellulose, making Mikropor filters ideal for extended maintenance intervals. Lastly, our line of very durable MB Refrigerated Dryers feature a very distinct heat exchanger design, consistent dewpoint and a very low pressure drop. Today, pressure drop is a very important consideration as the cost of producing compressed air continues to rise. What are the key features, advantages and flow ranges of the MB dryer? Mikropor dryers are based on thirty years of experience in dryer manufacturing. They are designed with simple and proven components from global refrigeration suppliers and are very easy to maintain. Many thousands of users worldwide can testify to the efficiency and performance of Mikropor dryers. Our standard MB Dryers are non-cycling and models range from 10–3500 scfm. All MB dryers feature our very unique MonoBloc heat exchanger that delivers real performance and value. Air Inlet Filters are the first line of defense for compressors MB Dryers feature Low Pressure Drop 28 www.airbestpractices.com http://www.airbestpractices.com
