Testing for Microorganisms in Compressed Air
Halting
the Growth of Microorganisms
Potential for growth of micro-organisms in a compressed air system is tied to the moisture level (dew point) of the compressed air. In simple terms, if there is moisture in your compressed air, microorganisms such as mold and bacteria have the environment they need to grow and thrive. While itโs true that as air is compressed, much of the moisture present in the intake air will condense, enough moisture remains to allow micro-organisms to proliferate.
Air Testing
Compressed air testing should be a fundamental safety mechanism for your facility, like fire extinguishers and PPE. To ensure that your air systems meet the new requirements, youโll need a carefully designed and implemented Compressed Air Monitoring Program to verify the effectiveness of your facilityโs air filtration, air drying, and air system maintenance. A good starting point is a professional audit of your system for compressed air or other gases. A comprehensive air audit includes these elements:
- Leak detection (ultrasonic and acoustic camera)
- Supply side audit (pressure testing, flow metering,
- cost)
- Demand side audit (dew point monitoring, flow
- metering, effectiveness)
- Air quality testing (controlled sampling of your air,
- lab testing and comprehensive report)
- Professional air testing is simple, effective, non-intrusive
- and affordable. It helps deliver key benefits for your
- business:
- Protects your product quality
- Protects your brand
- Guarantees peace of mind

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.

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.
