How to Prevent Corrosion in the Compressed Air Line Network
Corrosion occurs in steel pipelines without any surface treatment that is sensitive to moisture. Corrosion can lead to a reduced pipe diameter and contamination of compressed air with corrosive impurities.
How to Prevent Corrosion
The most effective way to prevent corrosion is to remove condensation from the compressed air as quickly as possible. This process can consist of several phases and must include the following:
- A cyclone separator with an automatic condensate separator - A cyclone separator is usually installed directly in the compressor. If this is not the case, there are cyclone separators that can be mounted directly downstream of the compressor.Β
- Filters and boilers can also release some moisture.
- A cooling or adsorption dryer is also effective for separating moisture.
The result is conditioned compressed air, which is suitable for various applications.

Maintenance budget: 8 factors to consider
Just like any other equipment, a compressed air installation also requires the necessary maintenance work during its entire lifespan. Even though maintenance costs are only about 5 to 10% of a machine's annual operating costs, failure to budget for maintenance can have potentially disastrous consequences. Read More…
The air dyer is one of the most ignored cooler in the system. A dirty condenser will cause water in the lines, or worse it will cause complete dryer failure. Read More…
Why Replace CO2 with Nitrogen in your Brewery
Using nitrogen is not about fully replacing CO2, but it can reduce their consumption of CO2 by close to 70%. Using nitrogen is about sustainability. Creating your own nitrogen is easy and will reduce the use of a greenhouse gas, which is better for the environment. It will also save you money as early as month one adding that savings to your bottom line. Read More…

Providing a safe working environment for operators is essential, especially when using pneumatic tools and compressed air. If there is a failure in the air network and the hose is not adequately clamped, the resulting whiplash could be devastating. Failure to follow best practice can result in injuries, associated production downtime and decreased productivity. Read More…
Why do I need a dryer for my compressor?
A common questions asked is why do I need an air dryer for my compressor? Typically, air compressors produce water, and although the
water can be drained, there can still be aerosol and vapour droplets that are present. This is because water cannoet be compressed. Water
can damage your compressor by corroding the valves, pipes and machinery controls, which will cost you time and money to resolve. In
the long run, the cost of a new compressor is a small price to pay compared to the loss of production that could potentially arise due
to water damage in your compressor.
