Why Choose the Ameroid UQ Filter for Compressor Drain Treatment?

Reliable Oil Adsorption Performance

The Ameroid UQ Filter uses demulsifiable and adsorbable materials to separate and trap oil components effectively, ensuring clean water output even under variable compressor loads.

Automated Monitoring with Turbidity Sensor

Unlike conventional adsorption systems that rely on visual inspection, the UQ Type’s built-in turbidity sensor signals when replacement is needed — minimizing downtime and maintenance effort.

Environmentally Compliant Operation

By consistently maintaining effluent standards defined under the Water Pollution Control Act, the Ameroid UQ Filter supports both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
