Operating an efficient production facility allows increased volumes and better quality products to be manufactured at a lower cost. Downtime and unreliability are not acceptable. Fundamental to most modern production environments is the compressed air network, often referred to as the 4th utility. This must be totally reliable and effective. To guarantee maximum performance and reliability, Parker domnick hunter protects your entire compressed air network, providing the best quality compressed air, exactly where it is needed. These world class compressed air treatment solutions will improve production performance and reliability whilst lowering energy consumption, CO 2 emissions and operational costs to deliver 100% manufacturing uptime and total peace of mind. Compressed Air - The 4th Utility Compressed air is a safe and reliable power source that is widely used throughout industry. Known as the 4th utility, approximately 90% of all companies use compressed air in some aspect of their operations. Unlike gas, water & electricity which is supplied to site by a utility supplier to strict tolerances and quality specifications, compressed air is generated on-site by the user. The quality of the compressed air and the cost of producing this powerful utility is therefore the responsibility of the user. 03|04 Compressed air contamination is a real problem for industry In todays modern production facilities, the use of compressed air is often pivotal to manufacturing processes. Irrespective of whether the compressed air comes into direct contact with the product or is used to automate a process, provide motive power, packaging, or even to generate other gases on-site, a clean, dry, reliable compressed air supply is essential to maintain efficient and cost effective production. Sources and types of contamination in a compressed air system Understanding the sources of compressed air contamination and the types of contaminants which must be reduced or eliminated is a key factor in planning an efficient compressed air system. In a typical compressed air system, there are ten major contaminants that have to be removed or reduced to protect the consumer and provide a safe and cost effective production facility. These contaminants come from four different sources. Source 1 Atmospheric Air Compressors draw in huge amounts of atmospheric air which continuously fills the system with invisible contaminants such as: Water vapour Atmospheric dirt Oil vapour Micro-organisms Source 2 The Air Compressor In addition to the contaminants drawn in from the atmosphere, oil lubricated compressors will contribute small amounts of oil from the compression process. The oil will be in the form of: Liquid oil Oil aerosols Oil vapour After the compression stage, the after-cooler will cool the air, condensing water vapour and introducing it into the compressed air as: Liquid water Water aerosols Sources 3 & 4 Compressed air storage devices & distribution piping As the air leaves the compressor it now contains eight different contaminants. The air receiver (storage device) and the system piping that distribute the compressed air around the facility can store large amounts of this contamination. Additionally, they cool the warm, saturated compressed air which causes condensation on a large scale adding more liquid water into the system and promoting corrosion and microbiological growth: Rust Pipescale 05|06 Water vapour Water enters the compressed air system through the compressor intake as a vapour (or gas). The ability of air to hold water vapour is dependent upon its pressure and its temperature. The higher the temperature, the more water vapour that can be held by the air, the higher the pressure, a greater amount of water vapour is squeezed out. As large volumes of air are draw into the compressor and compressed, the temperature of the air increases significantly. This allows the heated air to easily retain the water vapour in the atmospheric air. Condensed liquid water and water aerosols After compression, compressed air is normally cooled to a usable temperature by an after-cooler. This cooling reduces the airs ability to retain water vapour, resulting in a proportion of the water vapour being condensed into liquid water. The liquid water is then removed by a condensate drain fitted to the after-cooler water separator. The air leaving the after-cooler and entering the compressed air system is now 100% saturated with water vapour. Any further cooling of the compressed air will result in more water vapour condensing into liquid Oil vapour Atmospheric air also contains oil in a gaseous form (oil vapour) which comes from inefficient industrial processes and car exhausts. As with other contaminants, oil vapour is drawn into the compressor intake and passes through the intake filter. Typically concentrations can vary between 0.05 and 0.5mg per cubic metre, but these can increase significantly should the compressor be sited near highways and heavy traffic. Additionally, lubricants used in the compression stage of a compressor can also be vaporised and carried into the compressed air system. This oil vapour will then cool and condense into a liquid. Oil vapour can also taint products and packaging with an oily smell and / or make workers feel unwell. Atmospheric contamination entering the compressor Water Vapour Micro-organisms Atmospheric Dirt Oil Vapour Contaminant Source No. 1 Ambient Air Contaminant Source No. 2 The Air Compressor Contaminant Source No. 3 The Air Receiver Contaminants and sources in a compressed air system Compressor Room water. Condensation occurs at various stages throughout the system as the air is cooled further by the air receiver, the distribution piping and the expansion of air in valves, cylinders, tools and machinery. Saturated air, water aerosols and liquid water cause: Corrosion to the storage and distribution system Damage to valves, cylinders, tools and production equipment Damage to products and packaging in direct contact with the air Increased microbiological contamination Reduction in production efficiency Increased maintenance costs Liquid oil and oil aerosols The majority of air compressors in use today still use oil in their compression stage for sealing, lubrication and cooling. The oil is in direct contact with the air as it is compressed, however due to the efficiency of modern air / oil separators built into the compressor, only a small proportion of this lubricating oil is carried over into the compressed air system as a liquid, an aerosol (typically no more than 5mg/m 3 for a well maintained screw compressor) or as oil vapour. Liquid and aerosols mix with water in the system to form a thick, acidic condensate. Compressor condensate causes damage to the compressed air storage and distribution system, production equipment, products and packaging. Atmospheric dirt Atmospheric air in industrial and urban environments will typically contain 140 - 150 million dirt particles in every cubic metre. As 80% of these particles are less than 2 microns in
size, they are therefore too small to be captured by the compressor air intake filter and will travel unristricted into the compressed air system. Micro-organisms Atmospheric air can contain up to 100 million micro-organisms per cubic metre. Bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores are drawn into the intake of the air compressor and due to their size; will pass directly through the compressor intake filters and into the compressed air system. The warm, moist compressed air provides an ideal environment for their growth. Many critical applications require Rust and pipescale Rust and pipescale can be directly attributed to the presence of water in the compressed air system and is usually found in air receivers and distribution piping. Over time, the rust and pipescale breaks away to cause damage or blockage in production equipment which can also contaminate final product and processes. Rust and pipescale problems often increase for a period of time after the installation of dryers into older piping systems which were previously operated with inadequate or no purification equipment. Contamination introduced by the compressor Water Aerosols Condensed Liquid Water Liquid Oil Oil Aerosols Contamination introduced by the air receiver and distribution piping Rust Pipescale Total contamination entering the compressed air distribution system Water Vapour Microorganisms Atmospheric Dirt Oil Vapour Water Aerosols Condensed Liquid Water Liquid Oil Oil Aerosols Rust Pipescale Contaminant Source No. 4 The Distribution Piping Compressor Room sterility and if contaminated compressed air can directly or indirectly contact products, packaging or production machinery, then sterility will be compromised. Loss of sterility can cause enormous financial damage for a company as micro-organism can: Potentially harm the consumer Diminish product quality Render a product entirely unfit for use Lead to a product recall Cause legal action against a company 07|08 Contaminant removal To operate a safe and cost effective compressed air system, contamination must be removed or reduced to acceptable limits. Microbiological contamination Corrosion within storage vessels and the distribution system Damaged production equipment Blocked or frozen valves, cylinders air motors and tools Premature unplanned desiccant changes for adsorption dryers In addition to problems associated with the compressed air system itself, allowing contamination such as water, particulate, oil and microorganisms to exhaust from valves, cylinders, air motors and tools, can lead to an unhealthy working environment with the potential for personal injury, staff absences and financial compensation claims. Compressed air contamination will ultimately lead to: Inefficient production processes Spoiled, damaged or reworked products Reduced production efficiency Increased manufacturing costs Failure to remove contamination can cause numerous problems in the compressed air system, such as: It is important to look at each contaminant in detail, as due to the diversity of the contamination present, a number of purification technologies must be employed for its removal. Compressed air contaminants To many compressed air users, the realisation that there are ten major contaminants in a compressed air system is somewhat of a surprise. It is often thought that only three contaminants are present (Dirt / Water / Oil), however, upon closer examination, these three contaminants can be broken down further as: Dirt Micro-organisms Atmospheric Dirt & Solid Particulate Rust Pipescale Water Water vapour Condensed Liquid Water Water Aerosols Oil Oil Vapour Liquid Oil Oil Aerosols Contamination Reduction / Removal Purification Equipment Technologies Bulk Condensed Water Water Vapour Water Aerosols Atmospheric Dirt & Solid Particulate Micro-organisms Oil Vapour Liquid Oil & Oil Aerosols Rust & Pipescale Water Separators

* To ensure the highest level of food safety and shelf life, Parker domnick hunter recommends that all contact and non-contact high risk air is treated with a sterilising grade filter to remove all microbial contamination. 09|10 Water separators Water separators provide bulk condensed water and liquid oil removal and are used to protect coalescing filters against bulk liquid contamination (for example where excessive cooling takes place in air receivers and distribution piping installed prior to purification equipment). Water separators will only remove liquids and will not remove water or oil in either an aerosol or vapour phase. Designs using centrifugal action provide the most efficient method for bulk liquid removal as they use a combination of directional change and centrifugal action to optimise separation efficiency and reduce energy costs. Coalescing filters When considering purification equipment, coalescing filters are vital for the cost effective operation of any compressed air system, regardless of the type of compressor installed. A purification system will normally consist of two coalescing filters installed in series to remove water aerosols, oil aerosols, atmospheric dirt, micro-organisms, rust and pipescale. Suppliers of oil-free compressors will often state that one of the coalescing filters is a particulate filter and the other is an oil removal filter, therefore, in oil-free compressor installations, there is no need for the oil removal filter. In reality, both filters remove exactly the same contaminants. The first filter is a general purpose filter which protects the second, high efficiency filter from bulk contamination. Omitting one of the filters in the belief that it is an oil removal filter will result in poor air quality due to contaminant bypass (carryover), high operational costs due to the pressure loss across the filter and more frequent filter element changes. Most importantly, omitting one of the filters will invalidate performance guarantees. The dual coalescing filter installation ensures a continuous supply of high quality compressed air with the additional benefits of lower operational costs and minimal maintenance compared to a single high efficiency filter. Compressed air dryers Water vapour is water in a gaseous form and will pass through water separators and coalescing filters just as easy as the compressed air. Water vapour is therefore removed from compressed air using a dryer. The water vapour removal efficiency of a dryer (its performance) is expressed as a Pressure Dewpoint or PDP. Dewpoint refers to the temperature at which condensation will occur. Pressure Dewpoint or PDP refers to the dewpoint of air above atmospheric pressure. Dewpoint is written as a temperature (but this is not the airs temperature). Compressed air with a PDP of -20C, would need the temperature to drop below -20C for any water vapour to condense into a liquid. A PDP of -40C is recommended for all food applications where air is in direct or indirect contact with production equipment, ingredients, packaging or finished products because a PDP better than -26C will not only stop corrosion, it will also inhibit the growth of micro- organisms. Compressor Air Receiver and Drain Water Separator Coalescing Filters Adsorption (Desiccant) Dryer Adsorption Filter Dust Removal Filter Dust Removal Filter A solution for every contaminant Compressor Room Adsorption dryers Water vapour is removed from compressed air using an adsorption dryer. Adsorption dryers remove moisture by passing air over a regenerative desiccant material which strips the moisture from the air. This type of dryer is extremely efficient. A typical pressure dewpoint specified for an adsorption dryer is -40C as it not only prevents corrosion, but it also inhibits the growth of micro-organisms. A pressure dewpoint of -70C is often specified for critical applications. Refrigeration dryers (not shown) Refrigeration dryers work by cooling the air, so are limited to positive pressure dewpoints to prevent freezing of the condensed liquid. Typically used for general purpose applications, they provide pressure dewpoints of +3C, +7C or +10C. Refrigeration dryers are not suitable for installations where piping is installed in ambient temperatures below the dryer dewpoint i.e. systems with external piping, or critical applications such as food, beverage or pharmaceuticals as they do not inhibit microbiological growth. Dust Removal Filter Dust Removal Filter Dust Removal Filter Transair Piping Dust Removal Filter Sterile Filter Sterile Filter Adsorption (Activated Carbon) filters Oil vapour is oil in a gaseous form and will pass through a coalescing filter just as easily as the compressed air. Therefore, oil vapour removal filters must be employed which provide a large bed of activated carbon adsorbent for the effective removal of oil vapour, providing the ultimate protection against oil contamination. Dust removal filters Dust removal filters are used for the removal of dry particulates. They provide identical particulate removal performance to the equivalent coalescing filter and use the same mechanical filtration techniques to provide up to 99.9999% particle removal efficiency. Sterile filters Absolute removal of solid particulates and micro-organisms is performed by a sieve retention or membrane filter. They are often referred to as sterile air filters as they also provide sterilised compressed air. Filter housings are manufactured from stainless steel to allow for in-situ steam sterilisation of both the filter housing and element. It is important to note that the piping between the sterile filter and the application must also be cleaned and sterilised on a regular basis. Important Note: As adsorption or refrigeration dryers are designed to remove only water vapour and not water in a liquid form, they require the use of coalescing filters to work efficiently. Application 11|12 Are all compressed air filters and dryers the same? Compressed air purification equipment is essential to all modern production facilities. It must deliver uncompromising performance and reliability whilst providing the right balance of air quality with the lowest cost of operation. Many manufacturers offer products for the filtration and purification of contaminated compressed air, which are often selected only upon their initial purchase cost, with little or no regard for the air quality they provide, the cost of operation throughout their life or their environmental impact. When selecting purification equipment, the required air quality, the overall cost of ownership and the equipments environmental impact must always be considered. Air Quality Parker domnick hunter has been instrumental in the development of both ISO8573 and ISO12500, the international standards for compressed air quality and compressed air filter testing respectively. All Parker domnick hunter products are designed to provide air quality in accordance with all editions of ISO8573-1, air quality standard.

We are also committed to ensuring that our equipment provides high performance by providing a trouble-free service from a bespoke maintenance and verification package all tailored to your own specific requirements. We offer a wide range of valuable services that will impact positively on your drive towards improved production efficiency and product quality with reduced production rejections and operational costs. From initial selection to installation, commissioning, preventative maintenance and extended services, Parker domnick hunter is redefining customer service. A dedicated solution for every application The quality of air required throughout a typical compressed air system will vary depending upon the application for which it is used. Treatment of the compressed air at only one point alone, for example the compressor room; is not enough. Compressed air should be treated prior to entry into the distribution system (to a quality level suitable for protecting air receivers and distribution piping) and then at the point of use, with specific attention being placed on the application and the level of air quality required. This approach to system design ensures that air is not over treated and provides the most cost effective solution to high quality compressed air. The use of the ISO8573-1:2010 Air Quality Standard provides the system engineer with a simple method of specifying the air purity required at each point in the compressed air system. Using this standard allows Parker domnick hunter to quickly and easily select products from its comprehensive range of purification products to exactly match your system requirements and to ensure that both capital and operational costs are kept to a minimum.
