Tomball, TX: Air & Vacuum Process Inc. introduces the Aircel BHD Series, a fully automatic breathing air system designed for environments where air quality isn’t something you can afford to guess. From industrial sites to controlled lab settings, the system focuses on one thing, delivering air you can trust.
Compressed air isn’t clean by default. It carries moisture, oil, particulates, and in some cases, dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. The Aircel BHD Series takes that out of the equation. It turns compressed air into breathable air that meets OSHA Grade D standards, making it suitable for respiratory protection, SCBA systems, and confined space work.
What makes this system stand out is how it handles purification. Instead of relying on extra vessels or complicated add-ons, it uses a seven-stage process built into a dual-tower design. Each stage has a job, and it does it well.
It starts with a pre-filter that removes water, oil mist, and particulates before they move further into the system. From there, layered media inside the towers takes over. A molecular sieve targets volatile compounds and moisture. Activated alumina pushes that drying process further, bringing dew points down to -40°F. Then comes a catalyst that converts carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide, helping reduce one of the most serious risks in compressed air systems.
The final stages clean up what’s left. An activated carbon after-filter strips out remaining oil vapor, while a sub-micron filter catches fine particles before the air reaches the user. Throughout the process, a built-in CO monitor keeps watch. If levels shift, the system alerts you immediately.
Control stays simple. The Aircel Programmable Controller walks operators through each step, with clear readouts and visible indicators showing exactly what’s happening inside the system. There’s no guesswork, just straightforward operation backed by real-time feedback.
Durability also matters. The system includes long-life valves, protected electrical components, and easy access points for maintenance. It’s built to keep running, not to slow crews down with constant adjustments or downtime.
This breathing air system fits right into existing industrial air systems and works alongside an air compressor for breathing air applications. It’s also a strong match for university laboratories and research facilities where consistency and control are part of the job.
Air & Vacuum Process Inc. continues to focus on practical systems that solve real problems. The Aircel BHD Series reflects that mindset—built to handle the realities of compressed air, and designed to deliver safer, cleaner results every time.
