Drying air and gases economically. At high pressures and
high throughput. This is the
strong point of the SECCANT
regenerative dryer from Bauer.
For dehumidifying and purifying air,
nitrogen and rare gases, the SECCANT
regenerative dryers offer a tailor-made
system solution for every application.
For solutions requiring absolute continuous operation, where the processes do
not permit any interruption, can also be
used in combination with a bypass filter
system from BAUER.
By means of an external control room,
online control and online monitoring of
SECCANT and the compressor unit can
be implemented.

Low-maintenance operation for more economic efficiency
The regenerative dryer
SECCANT from BAUER offers
efficiency and safety when
purifying air and gases.
All downstream consumers, pipes
and valves are highly effectively
protected from corrosion, icing
and soiling.
The SECCANT regenerative dryer
offers a gas purity which complies with the requirements of
sensor technology, medicine and
ultrapure gas applications.
Owing to the long service life
of the cartridges of 2,000 hours
and a minimal number of wearing parts, use is highly economically efficient.
When using with „inline applica-
tions“ in continuous operation,
a very high unit availability is
guaranteed. Filter cartridges are
regenerated instead of consumed. Thus, frequent changing of
the filter cartridges is not necessar y.
Optional: With the help of an
additional filter housing containing activated carbon, breathing
air quality according to DIN EN
12021 can be obtained.

Regenerated gas is taken from
the process gas (approx. 5% of
throughput) and does not have
to be provided for separately.
Optionally, a pressure dew point
monitoring system and a realtime display of the current dew
point can be provided.
The pressure vessels are designed
and manufactured according to
most national and international
specifications for acceptance.

The condensate separator

The dryer chambers
are connected in a push-pull operation. The incoming process gas/air
flow is dried in the first chamber
(e.g. in left fig.) at the same time
as the second chamber is being
regenerated (e.g. in right fig.) using
a partial stream with already dried
gases/air.
The regenerated gas/air is channelled through the charged adsorption medium and regenerates the
absorber with the help of the partial decrease of line steam pressure.
The pressure maintaining

valve
guarantees, in the event of fluctuating final pressures, an optimal working pressure in the filter
housing, allowing for an efficient
absorption of the oil and water
molecules.

B-Control, the centre of communication
Continuous control maintains
operational security
B-CONTROL fully automatically
monitors and controls all SECCANT‘S internal functions like
- Operating hours
- Operating reports
- SECURUS (optional)
- Pressure dew point (optional)
At the same time SECCANT‘S
B-CONTROL communicates with
the compressor‘s respective unit
control: At start and stop the
compressor unit sends SECCANT
an On/Off signal. SECCANT permanently monitors itself during
operation and sends the compressor a release signal.
If a release signal is not received,
the compressor is automatically
stopped.
If the compressor unit is
equipped with a B-CONTROL
EXTENDED control and connected to SECCANT via a CANBus, online control and online
monitoring of SECCANT and the
compressor unit can be realised
via an external control room.
B-MESSENGER informs the operator online
the unit operator via SMS on his/
her mobile phone, pager or via
email about all important compressor data. About pending
maintenance work, for example
or malfunction.
The patented SECURUS system
(optional) reliably monitors the
service life of the cartridge.
With SECURUS it is impossible to
overuse the filter.
This can only be achieved with
a patented sensor technology,
which is integrated in the filter
cartridge. The integrated sensor
indicates the necessity for cartridge change prematurely, warning in time about the exhaustion of the cartridge capacity and,
finally switches the compressor
off.

Custommade solutions with system engineering
The appropriate configuration
for each purpose.
The four models 3, 3A, 4 and 4A
of BAUER‘S SECCANT range offer
a custommade system solution
for dehumidification as well as
purifying air, inert gases and noble
gases.
When wiring in the conventional
way up to three compressors can
be connected to the SECCANT,
when using a CAN-Bus as many
compressors needed to obtain the
maximum delivery quantity can be
connected.

Interconnected operation can be
achieved with help of the
B-CONTROL using a CAN-Bus.
Two SECCANT and 2 compressors
can be installed in crosswise operation. That way, for maintenance mode
any combinations between the connected compressors and SECCANT
are possible.
For strictly continuous operation
solutions, where processes do not
allow any interruptions, there is
also the possibility of a combination
using a BAUER P range bypass filter
system.
For drying and removing oil from
valuable rare gases, a gastight version
is available with recirculation of the
safety valves and the regenerated gas.
For optimizing the throughput, the
regeneration intervals can be adjusted
dependent upon the humidity of the gas.
