A lot of industrial processes require a steady flow of moisture-free, compressed air to optimize productivity. The presence of water vapor in circulating air might alter chemical reactions involved in the manufacturing process and lead to the creation of poor-quality products. For instance, food and beverage manufacturers routinely use air in their packing process and […]
To generate and maintain maximum efficiency of oil and gas pipeline networks, operators need to ensure all aspects of the fluid transmission process is fully functional. During the construction of these oil and natural gas conduits, mechanical and structural defects may occur that diminish their functionality and overall productivity. Before the commencement of full-scale gas […]
The industrial applications of compressed air range from food processing to beverage production to operations in natural gas recovery and transport. Considering the indispensable nature of compressed air to the success of various manufacturing processes, it’s vital that it meets the required usage specifications. The key to achieving the supply of high quality compressed air […]
Before the commencement of full-scale operations, newly constructed pipelines are subjected to a series of checks which determine their suitability for their intended functions. These procedures include pipeline pre-commissioning and commissioning checks which are carried out one after the other. Pre-commissioning is primarily done to ensure that all pipeline construction was satisfactory and meets the […]
Regardless of whether an industrial manufacturing process generates or consumes thermal energy, there is a high likelihood of moisture accumulation. This is particularly worse for industrial systems that circulate environmental air. Depending on the environment, ambient air contains varying amounts of water vapor suspended alongside its other elemental components. While a bit of moisture should […]
Inert gases are gaseous substances that are chemically nonreactive with other substances under standard temperature and pressure conditions. The non-reactive property of inert gases makes them suitable for a host of industrial processes as they prevent explosions, corrosion, and other unfavorable phenomena. Argon and nitrogen are two of the most widely-used inert gases in industries. […]
Compressed air is an essential requirement for several industrial processes such as sand blasting, pressure testing, and more. Ordinarily, pressurized air is supplied from standard air compressors such as rotary-screw, rotary vane, and reciprocating piston types. However, for high-powered applications, the air pressure from these systems is usually insufficient to perform a given process. Therefore, […]
Compressed air has become indispensable in several domestic, commercial and industrial processes including beverage and food production. The operation of air hammers and wenches, paint atomization and brake systems for large vehicles wouldn’t be possible without the use of compressed air. As with all industrial mixtures, there is the likelihood of unwanted impurities being found […]
There are always risks involved when working with high-pressure equipment such as pipelines. Some risks involved with pipeline handling include suspended loads and hazardous terrains as well as the ubiquitous human error factor in operations. It’s essential for all personnel to understand the required safety procedures to ensure proper and safe handling of equipment. These […]
The risk of fire breakout in a power transformer may be low, but the effects could be severe if it were to occur. If an employee is working close to the transformer when an explosion occurs, the person could suffer varying degree of burns or fatal damage to vital organs. Knowing the right precautions to […]
