Chemical
In the chemical industry, toxic, corrosive and unstable gases are common parts of the production process, so the requirements for equipment can be very strict. Product purity and strict quality control must be maintained to ensure that manufacturers provide customers with the highest quality chemicals.
In most applications, compressed air may be exposed to the product, so the quality of the air is critical. The presence of contaminants such as oil in compressed air sources can cause costly product spoilage and production losses.
Typical uses of compressed air in the chemical industry include:
- Process air - air used in direct contact with the product to clean, move the product and inflate the product
- Control valves and cylinders - equipment used in the production process controlled by compressed air
- Material handling - air-controlled pneumatic pumping system are used in volatile environments with no risk of explosion
- Nitrogen production unit - in a variety of chemical applications.
- Air curtains – to create a safe and clean area
- Product drying - air is mixed into the product to speed up the drying process
