Airtec Global is a leading industrial compressed air services and solutions provider with a primary focus on energy efficiency.
At Airtec, the compressed air services are designed from the ground up to provide the clients with efficient, long-lasting solutions for their systems. The best way to ensure efficiency for complex compressed air systems is by monitoring quality and flow, and SUTOâs product line makes monitoring easier, more accurate, and more consistent than ever before.
Though many of Airtecs clients utilize SUTO products at their recommendation, weâd like to highlight one client in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry who uses SUTO to maintain compressed air quality class ISO 8573-1.
For those of you who arenât aware, pharmaceutical manufacture has some of the most rigorous compressed air quality standards of virtually any industry. Any diversion from these standards can result in hefty fines or worse, product contamination. Our client, Donovan Werke, is a pharmaceutical company located in Central America who needs to operate within the stringent compressed air quality standards described in ISO 8573-1.
How Airtec Use SUTO to Help Donovan Werke Meet Their High Standards
ISO 8573-1 establishes strict rules on compressed air quality to ensure that pharmaceutical products arenât damaged or contaminated anywhere on the line. For Donovan Werke, that means that they need to be absolutely sure that their compressed air is free of the condensates, moisture, and oil vapor that might cause them to fall outside of regulations. Thatâs why Airtec recommended SUTO compressed air quality monitoring equipment.
To better monitor Donovan Werkeâs compressed air quality, Airtec installed SUTOâs S120 Oil Vapor Sensor and provided them with the S520 Portable Dew Point Monitor. The S120 Oil Vapor Sensor gives operations personnel clear metrics on the oil vapor content in their compressed air system. If there are any upticks, onsite staff are alerted immediately, allowing them to quickly isolate the problem, whether it be an oil leak in the air compressor or a clog in the filtration system. The S520 gives the team at Donovan Werke a much clearer knowledge of the performance of their compressed air treatment system, including desiccant air dryers, refrigerative dryers and filters. By constantly monitoring the treatment systemâs performance, they can more easily maintain a low-pressure dew point, ensuring consistent operations.
For day-to-day maintenance, the S520 Portable Dew Point Monitor enables more accurate and frequent quality monitoring for the team at Donovan Werke. Throughout any given day, plant personnel check the dew point throughout their system, using the S520âs detailed metrics and portability to gather useful information from even the least accessible corners of their system. With the S520, they can make sure that their compressed air treatment system (air dryers, filters, and drains) is functioning at its absolute peak. If the S520 reveals heightened moisture levels at any point during the routine check, personnel can now quickly locate and resolve the issue, reducing instances of clogged filters and dryer problems.
