Description
PureAir is a fully integrated and combined compressed air dryer and
pre-filtration system designed to remove moisture, dust particulates
and hydrocarbons. Delivering a robust, energy efficient and hasslefree compressed air purification for those critical applications where
optimum quality ISO8573-1:2010 Class 1.2.1 compliant air source is
required. PureAir conveniently integrates pre-filters, desiccant dryers,
carbon bed purifiers and post filters into one compact and easy to
install unit*. PureAir is the recommended pre-filtration solution to
ensure optimum quality inlet gas and full system protection for Peak’s
iFlow high purity, high flow nitrogen generator system.
*Requires minimal lifetime maintenance, namely desiccant cartridge replacements.

Why specify PureAir pre-filtration?
Many critical applications require an advanced pre-filtration system, the Peak PureAir comes with additional components, namely
a triple pre-filter, desiccant dryer technology, and carbon beds for hydrocarbon removal and smart control technology. The
additional pre-filters allow the PureAir to ensure the removal of impurities at higher flow rates, from 150m3/hr to 375m3/hr (with
larger flows available upon request) the smart control technology measures the dryness (PDP) or the volumetric flow of the
air in the system. Communicating this to the desiccant dryer, PureAir will dry the air at the most efficient rate, controlling and
minimizing the purge loss, whilst also allowing parameters to be set on some units, therefore reducing the electrical demands of
the upstream compressor and decreasing electrical running costs.
Peak can maintain the PureAir system, protecting the productivity of the operating facility, reducing downtime and lengthening
the life of the system.
