O’Neill Industrial provides air quality testing to ensure the high quality of compressed Air systems, such as compressed air. Clean dry air is essential for many different types of industrial applications. This air is supplied by compressors which draw in large volumes of air from the surrounding atmosphere containing contaminants. Typically, drying and hydrocarbon removal systems are in place prior to filtration and then released to the Plant compressed air line system. However, having these treatments in place is no guarantee of their efficacy. In some cases the air compressor itself can add contaminants. The presence of water, hydrocarbons, oil and solid contaminants in a compressed air system can affect compressed air quality (i.e. product sterility) and lead to rust, scaling, instruments clogging, valves sticking and process contamination.

The ISO 8573 standard test methods were developed to verify air quality in a compressed air system, and lay out a classification of purity levels, for the key parameters of: Particles, Water, Oil and Microbiological contaminants.

O’Neill Industrial can provide the client with a full suite of air quality tests in compliance with ISO 8573.1 2010 which includes:
