High quality compressed air is vital to manufacturing excellence (10th April 2012)

Compressed air is widely used throughout industry, so much so that it is often regarded as the fourth utility. However, unlike electricity, gas and water, it is unique in that it is generated on-site rather than delivery by an external service provider.

Meeting ISO 8573-1:2010 improves energy saving, productivity and profitability (9th April 2012)

In 1991, the International Standards Organisation (ISO) introduced ISO 8573-1, a compressed air quality standard using purity classifications that permit the compressed air user to define the maximum allowable amount of contamination per cubic metre of compressed air.

  Drain your condensate, not your air (5th April 2012)

To understand the scale of the problem, a typical 170m3/hr (100 cfm) screw compressor operating for 4,000 hours at normal European ambient temperatures will produce and pour around 10,000 litres (2,200 gallons) of damaging oily, acidic compressor condensate into the system.

  Can high performance air dryers be environmentally friendly? (1st July 2010)

As the most prolific contaminant in compressed air systems, it is vital to ensure that all viable water vapour is removed using air dryers before it can enter a pneumatic system. Indeed, if not removed, moisture will cause corrosion of the distribution system,blocked or frozen valves and machinery, as well as providing an ideal breeding ground for micro-organisms and bacteria
