Frequently Asked Questions

A membrane dryer does not regenerate itself. It's a single pass design and dewpoints fluctuate when ambient conditions alter. A desiccant dryer with twin towers, will regenerate itself by virtue of timed valves, or pressure dewpoint. The dewpoint is more reliable from a twin tower dryer, which is being serviced correctly.

Compressed air systems often contain oil aerosols, moisture, solid particulates (dust, rust, and dirt), and microorganisms. These contaminants can damage equipment, reduce efficiency, and lead to product contamination.

Choosing the right filter depends on your industry, contamination risks, and air purity requirements. Be sure to capitalize on our no-charge, no obligation clean air treatment studies. An experienced and qualified filtration specialist will visit your site to assess your current equipment and system. In addition, we establish industry standards for protection levels and compressed air quality. The ultimate objective is to confirm exactly how we can optimize clean air purification at your facility. 

Zero-loss drains automatically remove condensate without wasting compressed air, unlike timed solenoid drains that operate on a timer. Simple energy incentive rebates are available to encourage you to replace energy wasteful timed solenoid drain traps with zero compressed air loss ECO drains.  Eco drains help improve energy efficiency, reduce compressed air loss, and lower operating costs.

Replacement frequency depends on usage, air quality, and the type of filter. Regular preventative maintenance helps prevent pressure drops and efficiency losses. Most filters need replacing every 6 to 12 months, but high-contaminant environments may require more frequent changes.

Proper compressed air filtration prevents equipment wear, pressure drops, and contamination, reducing the need for costly repairs and downtime. It also enhances energy efficiency by maintaining optimal airflow, lowering operational costs.
