Activated Carbon Filter 0.005 mg/m3, Y016 Series | Aignep

The AIGNEP Y016 Series Activated Carbon Filter (<0.005 mg/m³) is the oil vapor and odor removal component of the FRL EVO line, designed to produce ultra-pure compressed air with a residual oil concentration of less than 0.005 mg/m³, meeting the most demanding air purity requirements (ISO 8573). It is the third and final step in the advanced filtration chain of the AIGNEP FRL EVO Units Configuration 3, installed after the Y015 coalescing filter (0.001 µm). Also available as an individual component for modular installations. It has ATEX Ex certification and automatic pressure-differential draining (DEP). Manufactured in Italy by AIGNEP. Available in 1/2" and 3/4" BSPP.

Position in the EVO Filtration Chain (Configuration 3)

1. Regulator filter Y030 (5 µm) — retains solid particles
2. Coalescing filter Y015 (0.001 µm) — removes liquid oil and aerosols
3. Activated carbon filter Y016 (<0.005 mg/m³) — this product — removes oil vapors and odors

Applications

• Removal of oil vapors and odors from compressed air (<0.005 mg/m³ ISO 8573)
• Component of Configuration 3 of the AIGNEP FRL EVO Units (1/2" and 3/4")
• Modular installations of the EVO line where vapor removal is required
• Pharmaceutical, food, and microelectronics industries with ultra-pure air requirements
• Pneumatic systems in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX certification)
• Any application where oil vapor contamination is critical
