BEKOMAT 8 & 9 Condensate Drains – High-capacity zero air loss automatic drains for large compressors and industrial systems
The complete housing of these BEKOMAT® condensate drains is made of cast stainless steel and thus designed for use in aggressive atmospheres as well as for the discharge of condensates from special gas compression. They are mainly used in oil plants, refineries and the petrochemical industry. These are the largest electronic level-controlled condensate drains on the market, specifically designed and built to meet these requirements.
Condensate drain without pressure loss
If a float drain leaks, then high costs arise as a result of leaks. Time-controlled solenoid valves also cause compressed air losses. During the valve opening, expensively generated compressed unused compressed air escapes into the environment. In contrast a level-controlled condensate drain guarantees discharge without any compressed air loss i.e. also energy loss. This not only saves energy and costs, but also CO2 emissions.
Applications
- Oil refineries and petrochemical facilities
- High-volume compressor installations
- Systems handling aggressive or oil-free condensates
The BEKOMAT Range Covers a Variety of Systems:
- BEKOMAT 8: up to 5,790 L/h of condensate discharge
- BEKOMAT 9: up to 12,600 L/h of condensate discharge

How Does the BEKOMAT Zero Air Loss Condensate Drains Work?
The BEKOMAT is an electronically level-controlled condensate drain used for draining off condensate in compressed air systems. The condensate formed is collected in the BEKOMAT and the filling level is monitored by an integrated capacitive sensor. When the defined filling level is reached, the condensate is discharged via a pilot-controlled solenoid valve. Only the condensate is automatically discharged without losing valuable compressed air.
FAQ
What makes BEKOMAT different from mechanical drains?
BEKOMAT uses electronic level sensing to avoid air loss, saving energy and maintenance costs.
Which model do I need?
The model depends on your compressor capacity, system pressure, and condensate type. Contact us for help.
Does it work with oil-free compressors?
Yes. The BEKOMAT 8 and 9 models are designed for oil-free and aggressive condensates.
