Atlas Copco Condensate Separators – When less really means more


The OSC range of condensate separators for compressed air systems from global quality compressed air technology, equipment and systems specialist, Atlas Copco Compressor Technique, delivers high performance, versatility and low maintenance. Consisting of eight models, the OSC range can accommodate compressed air systems from 35 l/s (74 cfm) right up to 2360 l/s (4984 cfm). Advanced technology in the form of a revolutionary oleophilic and active filtration patented process incorporated by Atlas Copco into the design of the OSC range enables almost all condensate mixtures to be separated, including most emulsions. Unlike most other systems, over-sizing is unnecessary when faced with synthetic oil based condensates. This patented filtration process also ensures that the condensate separators meet strict environmental regulations. According to Charl Ackerman, Business Line Manager of Atlas Copco Compressor Technique’s Industrial Air division, simplicity is a key feature of the product. “Installation requires only a roughly flat surface, the set-up is uncomplicated and there are no restrictions on the drain type used upstream of the unit making this a simple, no-fuss, and extremely user-friendly unit.” The OSC range offers a series of practical and tangible advantages above and beyond the traditional gravity-based systems: - A very stable separation performance throughout filter lifetime; - No standing stagnant water which eliminates health risks; - Large capacity chambers reduce the risk of spillage through blockage or any sudden increases in condensate flow; - No oil collection bottle - already separated condensate cannot be ruined in the event of a malfunction and multiple oil condensate can be separated, along with condensate from multiple sources Ackerman also points out that compulsory regular testing is a thing of the past as the maintenance indicator conveniently tells the customer exactly when to change the filters - a quick, easy and clean operation. The design simplicity of Atlas Copco’s OSC range adds value through the delivery of optimum performance, low operational costs, and long life for total convenience and customer peace of mind.

Mines to gain control of yellow metal assets – aims to reduce fraud

SAMAR announces plans to cover entire life-cycle of all assets MIDRAND, SOUTH AFRICA – 25 May 2017 – The Southern African Movable Asset Register (SAMAR) today announces its plans that will allow mines, contractors, manufacturers, importers, builders, banks, insurers as well as the general public to control title and ownership of all movable assets, including yellow metal and other movable assets used during operations. In Africa, many yellow metal assets are crudely marked and registered to businesses. However, SAMAR creates the most recent reliable record of an asset and yellow metal by updating records in real-time as changes are made by various system participants. This allows businesses to effectively manage and control the financing of assets and yellow metal not on eNaTIS throughout their lifecycle. This greatly reduces fraud, theft, double discounting, or incorrect depiction for value and insurance purposes. Benefits for contractors • The value of movable assets and yello...

Reconditioning of components with Thermal Spray Coatings

Image
The application of Thermal Spray coatings by South Africa’s leading surface coating specialists, Thermaspray, can lead to an enhancement in performance and an extension of service life of expensive engineering parts and industrial components, leading to substantial reductions in downtime and production costs. Engineering components and parts in production processes are subject to degradation through wear, corrosion, oxidation and cavitation. Thermaspray, Managing Director, Dr. Jan Lourens, points out that as all these degradation processes are active on the surface of components, a suitably selected and correctly applied surface coating like Thermal Spray can effectively re-condition production equipment to ‘as new’. “In fact”, adds Dr. Lourens, “very often, through degradation analyses and the selection of a superior coating, a thermal spray coating makes it possible to provide virtually as good as new a component. Most importantly for the end user, this means substantial cost sav...
