Activated Carbon Tower Filters
Oil-Free, Odor-Free Air for Critical Applications
Nitroxtec Activated Carbon Tower Filters are designed to ensure the highest level of air purity in compressed air systems by effectively removing residual oil vapors, hydrocarbons, and unwanted odors. Using premium-grade activated carbon media and an advanced flow distribution system, these towers deliver ultra-clean, odorless air for applications requiring ISO 8573-1:2010 Class 1 air quality.
What is Activated Carbon?
Activated carbon is a highly porous adsorbent material known for its exceptional capacity to trap oil vapor, organic compounds, and odors from air and gas streams. When compressed air passes through the carbon bed, hydrocarbons and oil vapors are adsorbed onto the internal surface of the activated carbon particles, resulting in purified, odor-free air.
To maintain consistent performance, Nitroxtec carbon towers are equipped with pre-filtration to remove bulk oil and particles before entering the adsorption bed, and optimized diffusers to ensure uniform airflow for maximum carbon efficiency.

Working Principle
Compressed air from the compressor first passes through a high-performance pre-filter that captures larger oil droplets and particles. It then flows uniformly through a specially designed diffuser into the activated carbon bed. As the air moves through the tower, oil vapor and hydrocarbons are adsorbed by the carbon media. The result is clean, odorless compressed air, discharged through a silenced outlet.
The automatic drain system removes condensed oil and moisture, while an optional oil indicator allows real-time monitoring of filter performance and saturation levels.
