Oil contamination in compressed air can behave very differently depending on its chemical origin. Mineral oils, made from refined petroleum fractions, often…
The DOCA Project is developing an online optical sensor capable of spotting oil contamination in high-purity compressed air, whether it appears as liquid…
Across Australian pharmaceutical plants in Melbourne's western corridor and food processing facilities around Brisbane, compressed air systems run around the…
Compressed air systems in Australian facilities face a peculiar challenge. While much of the continent is famously dry, coastal operations from Sydney to Perth…
Modern pharmaceutical plants, hospitals, and manufacturing floors rely on continuous visibility into every utility supporting production. Compressed air sits…
Compressed air is easy to treat as a background utility, yet it can come into direct or indirect contact with food, drink containers, closures and packaging…
Optical detection of oil contaminants in high-purity compressed air is a delicate balancing act. Even a small change in ambient temperature can shift the…
Reliable oil detection begins with a reliable sample. In a high-purity compressed-air system, the location of a DOCA sensor can determine whether the…
High-purity compressed air can carry oil in several forms. Liquid droplets may be visible to an optical system as particles, while fine aerosols and oil…
When compressed air contacts a product, a wound, or a wafer, its purity becomes a foreground issue. ISO 8573-1 Class 1 sets the strictest commercially relevant…
