Compressors for the chemical industry (UK) – process purity and operational safety
Chemical processes demand the highest compressed air quality. Even the slightest traces of oil or particles endanger products, systems, and employees. SCC UK offers oil-free compressors and energy-efficient solutions that protect your processes, reduce operating costs, and meet standard requirements.
Requirements for Compressed Air in the Chemical Industry
Robust Compressors for Process Environments
Oil-free compressed air for chemical applications
SCC develops compressors for industrial sectors where contamination by oil or particles must be prevented. Our oil-free technologies operate without lubricants in the compression process and deliver compressed air in accordance with relevant standards – ISO 8573-1 Class 0 as the purity target for the highest demands.
Water-injected screw compressors use water-injected compression with an internal water circuit (oil-free) for cooling, without the need to supply fresh water. The low compressor temperatures protect processes and materials. Oil-free scroll compressors operate with low vibration and low maintenance – ideal for laboratory and analysis technology with constant air requirements.
Energy efficiency through demand-based control
Variable speed control automatically adjusts the compressor output to the current air requirement. This lowers energy consumption, reduces idle phases, and ensures stable pressure conditions. At the same time, the compressed air quality remains constant – without fluctuations that could impair processes.
Our compressors can be integrated into existing systems. The SCC control system records all relevant operating parameters, documents maintenance status, and enables connection to control rooms or mobile devices.

Frequently Asked Questions about Compressed Air in the Chemical Industry
Yes. Variable Speed Drive (VSD) adjusts the compressor output to current demand. This avoids idling, reduces switching frequency, and significantly lowers power consumption – especially with fluctuating air demand.
Many functions depend directly on constant compressed air, especially braking and door systems. A reliable compressed air supply reduces outage risks and supports safe operation.
Scroll compressors operate almost wear-free due to low speeds and a low-vibration design. Water-injected compressors only require water-injected compression with an internal water circuit (oil-free) and do not need oil changes. Both technologies significantly reduce maintenance effort.
Scroll compressors operate almost wear-free due to low speeds. The SCC control system records all relevant operating parameters. Pressure, temperature, and maintenance status are available at any time – locally on the touchscreen or via interfaces for control rooms and mobile devices.
