Knowledge:
SPX offers JEMACO compressed air dryers and filters that remove oil, water, dirt, rust and pipe scale. Although compressed air system purification is often overlooked, it is an important process that can improve work efficiency and reduce maintenance. Removing contaminants that can adversely affect all components of an air distribution system – including causing the pneumatic controls to fail - protects the system.
Technology:
Modern marine vessels employ pneumatic control systems requiring less manpower yet providing maximum safety, superb efficiency and excellent reliability.
The system air supplied by a compressor naturally contains unwanted impurities like condensed water and oil particles, which may eventually cause malfunctions and break downs of precision instruments and other machineries. Hence, an air dryer to remove such impurities becomes an essential choice for the system.
Management of such impurities in the system air is often dealt with at low priority, which, in fact, may lead to major problems. Unfortunately, unlike the cases of purchasing expensive machinery and tools, ship builders and owners usually have the least interest in air dryers which means their ships are often exposed to high risk of serious accidents. The selection of air dryers should be given greater priority for these projects.
