The Bekokat catalytic converter system will break down long hydrocarbon chains into water and carbon dioxide.
This method means the quality of the compressed air output is not dependent on the quality of air at the inlet. Routine maintenance costs are also very low. Beko says its design has a lower temperature and no direct contact between heaters and catalyst, hence minimising any possible danger of fires in the catalyst.
The Bekokat is designed for point-of-use applications, where the quality of the air required is significantly higher than the normal factory air and the usual solution would be to buy a dedicated oil-free compressor or a filtration system.
The catalyst will need to be changed at 20,00030,000 hours, which keeps maintenance simple.
