Better than DIN EN8573-1/ISO8573-1, Class 1 oil content << Back Conventional compressed-air treatment has technical and economic limits, especially when the requirements are exceptionally stringent. Therefore, new approaches and technologies are required. With an achievable residual oil content of max. 0.003 mg/m³ the BEKO catalysis technology is setting new standards in compressed-air conditioning. After an intensive development, BEKOKAT realizes the possibilities of this technology and combines it with the requirements of its practical utilization together with a high level of reliability.
BEKOKAT finally made the breakthrough.

Typical oil-free applications:
breathable air
medical engineering
pharmaceutics
measuring technology
conveyance of hygroscopic food
High efficiency
A constant supply of oil-free compressed air with a barely detectable max. residual oil content of 0.003 milligram per cubic metre. With this high level of efficiency, the BEKOKAT devices can even sail past the stringent oil content stipulations of DIN EN8573-1/ISO 8573-1, class 1. At the same time, the new functional principle breaks down technical and economic barriers that are usually imposed on conventional compressed air treatment, especially when it involves applications with extremely high requirements.
For example: medical applications
Environmentally friendly
The oil-free and dry compressed air can then be used for the given application; the re- maining water is discharged. Consequently, BEKOKAT systems are not only highly effective, but also very environmentally friendly.

Long service life
In economic terms, the exceptionally long useful life of the special BEKOKAT granulate
- around 20,000 hours - is somewhat of an evolutionary leap considering that conventional activated carbon fills need to be replaced after about 300 hours of operation.
Service-life in comparison
Process reliabilty
BEKOKAT's advantages further include a maximum of process reliability because catalytic oxidation takes place completely independent of ambient temperature, inlet temperature, air humidity, and oil inlet concentration. Even during partial load operation, the efficiency of the catalyst technology of the BEKOKAT device is not in any way reduced.
