Compressed Air Filter Elements
Catalyst Filter Elements
Catalytic gas conversion for safer compressed air in breathing air and specialist systems.
Product Description
Catalyst Filter Elements
Catalytic oxidation filtration for carbon monoxide and hazardous gas reduction.
Catalyst compressed air filter elements are designed to remove hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide from compressed air systems. These elements use a catalytic oxidation process that converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, helping air systems meet safety requirements for breathing air and sensitive applications.
Compressed air passes through catalyst media where harmful gases are converted through a chemical reaction. This improves air quality and reduces dangerous contaminants that conventional particulate or coalescing filtration cannot remove.
Catalyst filtration is commonly used in breathing air systems, medical air supply systems, and specialised industrial environments. Installed as part of a multi-stage filtration system, these elements support safe compressed air quality for human use and critical processes.

FAQ
FAQ - Catalyst Filter Elements
What does a catalyst filter element remove?
Catalyst filter elements remove carbon monoxide and other harmful gases from compressed air systems.
Where are catalyst filters typically used?
They are commonly used in breathing air systems, medical air supply systems, and specialised industrial environments where air safety is critical.
How does catalytic filtration work?
The catalyst media converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide through a chemical oxidation process, reducing harmful gas levels in the compressed air stream.
Can catalyst filters remove particles or oil?
No. Catalyst filters are designed for gas contaminant removal, and should be used after particulate and coalescing filtration stages.
Are catalyst filters used alone in compressed air systems?
No. They are normally installed as part of a multi-stage air purification system to achieve safe and high-quality compressed air.
