What Applications And Processes Is Compressed Air Used For In The Chemical And Petrochemical Manufacturing Industries?

Across the chemical and petrochemical manufacturing sectors, compressed air is used for an extensive range of applications and processes. Some of these include accelerating drying processes, altering chemical composition, PET production, fermentation and aerations. Compressed air is also used for processed air, and in this instance, is used in direct contact with the chemical products for product moving, aeration and cleaning. It is also used for the general handling and conveying of raw materials and chemicals. When it comes to material handling, compressed air-operated fluid pumping systems are essential to eliminate the risk of explosion in often volatile, dangerous environments. Nitrogen generation in the chemical manufacturing industry also requires compressed air. Other uses include creating a safe and clean area for the production of air curtains and controlling equipment such as valves and cylinders.

Why Is High-Quality Air So Important For Chemical Manufacturing?

In the chemical and petrochemical manufacturing sectors, unstable, toxic and corrosive gases, raw materials and chemicals are a frequent part of production processes. Product safety and quality can’t be compromised, as manufacturers are subject to stringent controls and requirements to mitigate contamination risk. Substandard products can have negative impacts, including spoilage, waste, consumer risk, product liability and a damaged reputation for your facility. This means that any compressed air that comes into contact with the process it serves MUST be of a high quality. Any contamination in your air WILL result in production losses and costly implications. This is why having a compressed air system you can rely on to produce high-quality air is so important. That’s where we come in!
