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 […]
Compressed air is a vital utility in industrial and petrochemical processes. It is used to operate critical machinery such as jackhammers, pneumatic drills, and wrenches as well as process equipment like air cylinders and pumps. What Are Industrial Air Dryers Used For? An industrial air dryer is a piece of equipment or machinery used to […]
The hallmark of a typical oil and gas well lifecycle is a series of concerted efforts aimed at the optimal recovery of hydrocarbons. Over several phases, various techniques and technologies are employed, depending on the age of the well, the unique characteristics of the formation, and cost considerations. This article will outline the various […]
Today’s modern gas stations, car dealerships, and automotive experts are offering the option to fill their customers’ tires with pure or higher concentrations of nitrogen (N2) versus air. Typical compressed air is made up of water vapor and a variety of gases, including nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and argon. Nitrogen and oxygen account for the […]
We know that Nitrogen is all around us. It makes up 78 percent of the earth’s atmosphere and is found in our own body’s elements. Chemical and industrial companies also frequently rely on the industrial preparation of Nitrogen for everyday production. It’s necessary to extract nitrogen from the air so that it can be used […]
