REGARDING Air filters

Hi,
I'd like to ask about air purification system used for NMR. I realize my
question is not original but .... Here we use a very good (from my point of
view) system: boil-off from a very large liquid nitrogen tank supplies
nitrogen for whole Chemistry Department including NMR facilities. The problem
is that the consumption of liquid nitrogen by the Department is high and gets
even higher and sometimes we run out of nitrogen and cannot use NMR
instruments for pretty long time (from several hours to couple of days)
because the nitrogen delivery occurs on weekly base. I would like to find an
alternative air supply for NMR and use it in emergency. We have line compress
air which, I suppose, is contaminated with oil and water. Can anybody
recommend me non expensive filtering system for house compressed air which is
appropriate for NMR? I'll appreciate it if you send me detailed information
about this matter.
