Potential for growth of micro-organisms in a compressed air system is tied to the moisture level (dew point) of the compressed air. In
simple terms, if there is moisture in your compressed air, microorganisms such as mold and bacteria have the environment they need to grow
and thrive. While itโs true that as air is compressed, much of the moisture present in the intake air will condense, enough moisture remains
to allow micro-organisms to proliferate.
Air Testing
Compressed air testing should be a fundamental safety mechanism for your facility, like fire extinguishers and PPE. To ensure that your air
systems meet the new requirements, youโll need a carefully designed and implemented Compressed Air Monitoring Program to verify the
effectiveness of your facilityโs air filtration, air drying, and air system maintenance. A good starting point is a professional audit of
your system for compressed air or other gases. A comprehensive air audit includes these elements:
Leak detection (ultrasonic and acoustic camera)
Supply side audit (pressure testing, flow metering,
cost)
Demand side audit (dew point monitoring, flow
metering, effectiveness)
Air quality testing (controlled sampling of your air,
lab testing and comprehensive report)
Professional air testing is simple, effective, non-intrusive
and affordable. It helps deliver key benefits for your
business:
Protects your product quality
Protects your brand
Guarantees peace of mind
