Configuring DOCA sensor alarm thresholds for industry air quality standards

Compressed air systems in regulated industries depend on precise detection of oil contamination to safeguard product quality, equipment longevity, and worker…

Testing Sensor Response to Emulsified Oil in Condensate

The DOCA Project is investigating an online optical sensor for identifying oil contamination in high-purity compressed air. Its focus extends beyond free…

Case Study: DOCA Sensor Monitoring in a Chemical Plant’s Instrument Air System

A chemical plant depends on clean, dry instrument air to operate control valves, analysers, actuators and safety systems. When oil enters that air stream as…

Verifying Compressed Air Filters With the DOCA Sensor

A filter change is intended to restore the quality of compressed air, but installing a new element does not automatically prove that the system is clean.…

Understanding the DOCA Sensor’s Sampling Rate in Real-Time Air Monitoring

In high-purity compressed-air systems, oil contamination can appear as liquid droplets, aerosols or vapour. A sensor’s sampling rate determines how often it…

Blackjack Side Bets: A Practical Guide for Casino Players

Blackjack side bets can add variety to a familiar table game. Instead of relying only on the main hand, players can wager on outcomes such as pairs, suited…

DOCA Project builds portable calibration cart for field sensor checks

Pharmaceutical plants, hospitals, electronics clean rooms and heavy industry all depend on compressed air that is genuinely clean. A single droplet of…

Protecting Optical Windows in High-Purity Air Monitoring

The DOCA sensor is designed to detect oil contamination in compressed air across liquid, aerosol and vapour forms. Its optical measurement depends on a clear,…

How the DOCA Sensor Catches Oil Carryover in Screw Compressors

When an oil-injected screw compressor pushes pressurised air through a production line, it should ideally leave lubrication behind in the sump. The reality is…

Evaluating the Return on Investment of the DOCA Sensor in a Multi-Compressor Facility

In a multi-compressor facility, compressed-air quality can affect production continuity, product integrity, maintenance costs and regulatory performance. Oil…
