How FibreDrain technology streamlines oil smoke and oil mist filtration

28/02/2019

Oil smoke and oil mist are hazardous to human health, and may lead to a variety of problems when emitted in a work environment. The techniques used to clean the air from oil particles in industrial facilities have often proven to be inefficient at best, and inadequate at worst. Only a filter solution with both a high collection capacity and excellent drainage properties will be able to remove these particles in an economical way, even in environments and applications where oil mist and oil smoke are especially prevalent.
