Air filtration systems are an essential component of any commercial or industrial space. There are two main types of air filtration systems: ambient and portable. Both types of systems have their advantages and disadvantages, making it important to consider the needs of the space before deciding which unit is best for you. Understanding Industrial Air […]
Before on-site nitrogen generation takes place, the gas must be sourced and transported via cylinders and tanks to sites for varying industrial applications. This process can be very tedious and problematic. As a result, operators opt for one of the two technologies available for adequate on-site nitrogen generation. This article explores how nitrogen generators work […]
The presence of water vapor, sulfur, ethane, methane, carbon dioxide (CO2), and other impurities in industrial process fluids and products necessitates precision filtration systems for quality control of the final products. A coalescer is an industrial device used for this purpose. What Is a Coalescing Filter? A coalescer or coalescing filter is a device used […]
Many laboratories use liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) to identify and quantify compounds in complex mixtures. However, the accuracy and sensitivity of LC/MS measurements are dependent on the purity of the nitrogen gas used as a nebulizer gas and drying gas. Nitrogen generators provide a convenient and cost-effective solution by continuously supplying nitrogen gas that meets […]
A plasma cutter is one of the most important tools for anyone who frequently works with metals and other thick materials. This device uses a high-velocity stream of ionized gas to make clean and precise cuts through metals. However, to ensure that your plasma cutter is working efficiently, you have to consider the role of […]
In industrial settings, maintaining clean air is critical for the health and safety of workers. Unfortunately, many industrial facilities produce pollutants that may cause long-term health damage. There are many ways to maintain clean air, with air filtration and ventilation being two of the most common methods. Although air filtration and ventilation serve the same […]
Many industrial processes require compressed air. Unfortunately, industrial air compressors generate significant amounts of heat that must be dissipated to prevent damage to sensitive process components. Operators can mitigate the thermal effects of air compression by using devices like aftercoolers and intercoolers. This article covers the differences between an aftercooler and an intercooler. Intercoolers vs. Aftercoolers […]
Air compressors are essential tools in many industrial and manufacturing processes. They generate compressed air, which is then used in a variety of applications ranging from powering tools and machinery to providing air for breathing in hazardous environments. However, understanding and maintaining the optimal temperature range for operation is critical to ensuring that an air […]
Pollution and the over-exploitation of natural resources are among the major concerns facing the world today. As a result, many companies are looking for ways to make their processes more eco-friendly. Commercial air compressors are crucial in various industries, from manufacturing to construction. However, due to their high energy consumption, these powerful machines can have […]
With an estimated 70% of the manufacturing industry utilizing compressed air systems, it is evident that this equipment is one of the most commonly used energy sources across a wide range of industries. However, several factors affect air compressor efficiency, including air quality and maintenance. This article highlights several other factors that impact this efficiency […]
