TRANSCRIPT
How do you treat compressed air? With respect.
Like any utility such as electricity or gas, compressed air can be hazardous. Because it contains water, oil and
microscopic contaminants, if left untreated, compressed air wreaks havoc on factory, mining, painting or labora-
tory resources:
• It causes machinery, tools and instruments to malfunction bringing production lines to a standstill.
• It reduces product quality creating defects such as spoilage to food or fisheyes in spray paint applications.
• It jeopardizes human health by producing “nonbreathable” air or contaminating pneumatic medical equipment.
• It threatens the environment with toxic waste.
Only proper purification and distribution eliminates these problems. At CAG Purification Inc., our job is to design
and deliver treatment and distribution systems that get rid of the contaminates inherent in compressed air thereby
protecting your bottom line as well as your corporate conscience.
Where do contaminants come from?
They’re present in the atmosphere, piping, receiver system and
the compressor or vacuum pump itself and once in the com-
pressed air system, mix with condensate to create sludge. Highly
abrasive, sludge eats away at your pipes and valves, and ruins
pneumatic tools.
Prevention Suggestion:
Why wait for trouble when you can prevent it by call-
ing CAG now for a comprehensive compressed air
assessment. A Needs Analyst from our extensive dealer network
will determine potential difficulties and recommend solutions accordingly.

TAC-ANTI CORROSION TREATMENTFor harsh environments, as an option the ACT dryers can be supplied with a anti corrosion paint treatment. The TAC consists
of covering the refrigerant circuit components surface exposed to ambient air. The treatment, combined with the characteristics of the ALU-DRY heat exchanger, enables the ACT dryer to to operate
How do you treat compressed air? With respect.
In a world bent on “better, faster, cheaper”, most plants cannot afford the
adverse effects of untreated compressed air. The demand for treatment
products has grown so dramatically, in fact, even compressor manufac-
turers have entered that market.
But at CAG, the treatment of compressed air is -and always has been-
our sole competency. Lead by management with over 60 years collective
experience, we eat, sleep and breathe this business.
And unlike companies offering only a limited selection of treatment prod-
ucts, CAG provides complete compressed air treatment and distribution
systems. We hand pick best-of-breed brands from around the world
then, together with our national dealer network, assemble a customized
system to meet your specific needs.
Why get it all from one source?
First, there are the obvious benefits such as price
breaks and the time-savings associated with dealing
with a single supplier. More importantly, however, is
our “the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts”
approach, that is, we select each component to
work in perfect harmony with the others thereby
creating a system that delivers maximum efficiency
and hence, greater productivity.
In short, when you rely on CAG for all your com-
pressed air treatment and distribution needs you
get a fully customized, state-of-the-art system with
no weak links. Better still, you get it from a single,
accountable specialist.
Caution:
If you’re not worried about what you’re dumping into the sewage system now, you’d soon better be. Environmental
standards are continuing to rise and regulations are becoming more strictly enforced.
We live and breathe clean compressed air.
All systems go with CAG
Oil, dirt, moisture and heat - these contaminant by-prod-
ucts of compressed air create maintenance problems and
shut down assembly lines, wasting your time and money.
A proper treatment system eliminates such threats. At CAG,
our best-of-breed brands meet your compressed air treatment
needs; we can provide your company with any single product or a
complete system.
Aftercoolers
They’re the first line of defence against moisture. By
lowering the temperature of the compressed air, aftercoolers
cause much of the entrained water vapour to condense, thereby
aiding in the drying process. CAG carries a wide range of
both water and air-cooled aftercoolers, all of which employ
state-of-the-art technology to produce cooled compressed air.
Filters and FRL Products
Effective filtration eliminates dust, dirt and oil
from compressed air, which, if left unchallenged, can lead to
worn-out seals, eroded components, air-operated equipment
deficiencies and spoiled vacuum-packed food products.
From industrial plants and assembly lines to highly sensitive
medical and breathable compressed air and vacuum uses, CAG
can provide you with filters that meet your needs. As the final line
of defence our high quality point of use FRL products are available
in many configurations to meet the customer requirements.
Aftermarket Replacement Filter Elements
CAG stocks a large selection of aftermarket compressed air filter
elements designed to replace many OEM brand names. Our guar-
antee is to supply an equal or better element than the original OEM
product, at competitive pricing.
All systems go with CAG
Dryers
Moisture can create serious problems in compressed air
systems - rust and scaling in pipes, frozen outdoor air lines, and
reduced power and efficiency of air motors and tools. Product
quality issues such as spoilage in food processing and spray
painting applications can also arise. CAG carries desiccant,
refrigeration and membrane dryers for every industrial and
technological application.
Condensate Management
The final piece in the compressed air treatment puzzle,
condensate management is often the least understood.
Once compressed air is cooled, filtered and dried, the
leftover condensate has to go somewhere. Environmental
regulations insist it does not go down the drain as is,
that it must be treated on-site or disposed of in a responsible
manner. CAG’s drainage, oil-water separation and disposal
products have distinct economic advantages and allow your com-
pany to conform to the most stringent environmental regulations.
Our “intelligent” condensate drains remove condensate wherever
it occurs without unnecessarily removing compressed air from
your system.
A large percentage of compressed air condensate is water,
making on-site oil-water separators and emulsion-splitters a
cost-effective alternative to the expense associated with waste
disposal services. CAG’s products have a proven track record in
effective separation and disposal.
Purestream Piping
Once air has been purified, our aluminum pipe distribution system
guarantees contamination free air to the compressed air system
network. Easily installed, and adaptable, the piping can be retrofit-
ted into an existing steel pipe system or into a brand new facility as
required.

SAFETYSEAL PROGRAM-CAG PURIFIED
The Canadian government is very strict to ensure that all equipment used in any facility meets the appropriate
provincial safety standards across Canada. CAG Purification is one of the few in our industry that is very proac-
tive in obtaining the necessary electrical and pressure vessel approvals for every province, for all our products.
Take advantage of our special treatment.
As an environmentally conscious company, we need a topnotch compressed air filtration system. We were looking
to improve our existing system and called CAG. Their response was immediate. After evaluating the situation with
one of their local dealers, they proposed a customized system tailored to the unique nature of our application. In
the ensuing weeks, CAG, along with their dealer, designed and implemented a solution that eliminated a potential
environmental hazard, as well as preventing the risk of disruption to our production process. The system’s been
problem-free since it was first up-and-running over a year ago.
