Beko's Everdry adsorption dryer installed in large German steel mill

During last year, a heat-regenerated adsorption dryer of the BEKO Everdry ® FRP 5500 C type was installed in a large steel mill in Lower Saxony, Germany, for the application-based processing of compressed air. As a result of increased demand in the steel market, the production capacity for structural steel had expanded in the works. This also involved an increased demand for high quality processed compressed air. Measuring devices are used in the production process which needs such compressed air. Besides the required compressed-air quality, great importance was attached to an absolutely reliable plant control and data transmission, as the system operates continuously and without supervision. The dryer is controlled by a PLC (programmable logic controller). All process data is indicated at the control cabinet and transmitted to the primary control unit via "Ethernet". The electrical control was designed in close cooperation with the plant operator, in accordance with the in-house standard of the facility. There were no issues at all after one year, on the occasion of the preventive maintenance. All the customer’s requirements were met or exceeded, and the required compressed-air quality supplied. "The hopes we placed on EverAir, a company of the Beko group were entirely fulfilled", commented the customer. " We activated the plant and, afterwards, we could forget about it, so to speak." The dryer supplies a volume of 5,500 Nm³/h with a pressure dew point of -40 °C. Compressed air which is not required for the application is fed into the general operational network for the shop air.
