Compressed Air Treatment & Quality: What You Need to Know
What is compressed air? Compressed air is known as the ‘fourth utility’ alongside gas, electricity and water. And, it’s also one of the most widely used energy sources in industrial and medical settings. Interestingly, while compressed air may be believed to be clean, it isn’t necessarily purified. When the air is compressed, it can still contain particulates that can compromise system performance and air quality. This is why compressed air needs to undergo a […]
What Are Compressors Used For?
If you have ever pondered the question ‘what is an air compressor?’, you’re about to get some answers. An air compressor is a type of machine that draws in air and converts it into an energy source. That energy can then be utilised to operate various types of equipment. As a result, compressed air is […]
