PpTek announce a reduced footprint

PpTek has today announced a significant reduction in footprint for filters with gas flows up to 1200 m3/hr.

Following the introduction of the market leading BGAK 600, PpTek have redesigned the BGAK 1200 filter to have the same footprint and size.
Using advancements in housing designs and media density, PpTek has been able to dramatically increase the capacity of its 1200 filter.

Simultaneously PpTek has introduced an additional configuration feature that allows customers to specify the regeneration equipment placement allowing for a “square” footprint of approximately 3.4m wide x 3.7m long as apposed to the standard 1.85m wide x 5.6m long, at no additional cost. They will also announce later this year an “Ecco Pack” that reduces the cost of regeneration power by 50%.

David Hayward, Director of Product Development, said “Customers have been very impressed with the small footprint of the BGAK 600 range of filters, but were seeking greater gas throughput to cope with multiple engines on Landfill and Sewage treatment sites. By further developing our proprietary  media and redesigned cassette housings, we are now  able to offer a significant increase in gas throughput for the same footprint”.  

“We have already seen a very positive customer reaction to the announcement, and expect orders from several customers, both in the UK and Europe, very soon” added Bill Cowing Commercial Director.

Bill Cowing, Commercial Director for PpTek, commented “The BGAK600 has proved once again to be an ideal size filter for this type and type of STW. This model is now our best selling filter and with plans to extend the gas flow capability it is set to become our staple product in siloxane removal”.
