The post How to remove contaminants from your compressed air system? first appeared on ELGi.]]> The atmospheric air comprises of moisture, particle contaminants, microorganisms and gases. When this air gets compressed, the concentration of such particles these increases by 6-10 times. However, when this atmospheric air gets compressed by a compressor, other contaminants like oil & traces of metal get added during the compression process. This is why, it is important to remove these contaminants from the compressed air before it is used for any application.

These contaminants can be categorized into:
1. Particles
2. Water (Liquid, vapor and aerosol)
3. Oil (Liquid, vapor and aerosol)
4. Microorganisms
5. Other gases

According to the International Standard, ISO 8573-1:2010, compressed air contaminants like particles, water and oil are segregated as per purity classes. In this standard, microorganisms and other gases are not included. As a result, the air purity is indicated as [P,W,O] and is ordered as per the amount of particles, water and oil.

The post Launching New Possibilities first appeared on ELGi.]]> The recently concluded Compressed Air Best Practices (CABP) Conference in Chicago represented two firsts – the inaugural conference and the launch of ELGi’s oil-free range. While the conference hosted many vendors and users of compressed air, ELGi garnered much attention for the launch of its new oil-free screw compressor range. This will help extend ELGi’s reputation as a reliable and service-led brand ever evolving for the customers of compressed air across industries.

With a mission of ‘Creating Industrial Energy Savings Through Compressed Air’, the CABP magazine aggregates and presents content on methods to optimize compressed air usage, industry news, and application profiles. The conference aimed to bridge the gap between the suppliers and users of compressed air by introducing the users to best practices. The organizers hosted a fair with multiple vendor stalls and expert breakout sessions.

ELGi displayed its products with site experts engaging customers and distributors. Breakout sessions focused on customer case studies and expert recommendations. Leslie Marshall of General Mills, a large food manufacturer, spoke about the challenges of raising awareness on the true cost of compressed air leaks within a factory.
