WEST MIDLANDS COMPRESSORS
Compressed Air Filtration
Protect your process and equipment with correctly selected compressed air filtration. Supply, installation and maintenance tailored to the air quality your application needs.
- Equipment advice
- Installation & commissioning
- Ongoing support
Contaminants Travel Downstream
Poor or incorrectly maintained filtration can affect pneumatic equipment, finished products and downstream air treatment.
- Blocked or restricted filters increase pressure drop
- Contamination can reach tools and processes
- Incorrect filter grade may not achieve required air quality
- Poor drainage can allow collected condensate to carry over
Filtration Stages
Particulate Filtration
Removes solid particles and protects downstream equipment.
Coalescing Filtration
Designed to remove fine liquid aerosols and particles.
Activated Carbon Treatment
Used where reduction of oil vapour or odour is required.
Specialist Filtration
Application-specific filtration can be selected where higher air-quality requirements apply.
Correct Filter Selection
- Required airflow and pressure
- Target air quality
- Position before or after dryer
- Allowable pressure drop
- Drainage method
- Element service condition
- Future system capacity
Assess the Complete Treatment Train
We can assess the complete air-treatment train rather than replacing filters purely by connection size.
- Confirm required air quality
- Check flow and pressure
- Select appropriate filtration stages
- Install suitable drains
- Replace elements as part of planned maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions
How many filters does my system need?
It depends on the compressor, dryer and required air quality. Different filtration stages perform different functions.
Can a dirty filter increase energy use?
A restricted filter can increase pressure drop, which can contribute to higher system operating pressure.
How often should filter elements be changed?
Intervals depend on manufacturer, operating hours and contamination load.
Do filters remove water vapour?
No. Water vapour control requires suitable drying.
Can WMC specify filtration for an existing system?
Yes. We can review the compressor, dryer, flow, pressure and application.
