Our Key Competencies
Air Technology have a long and and acclaimed history in the compressed air industry. Our sector leading performance is based on a solid and expanding client list and an expansive library of issued reports detailing annual savings of well over £16million.
Compressor Acceptance/Performance Testing
We perform compressor package acceptance tests for a number of the major compressor manufacturers both at their facilities and in an installed situation on the end users site - This service is valued as we are an independent third party. All of our equipment is calibrated and traceable back to national standards. Our key test engineers Nigel Goerick, Mark Pollard, and Ian Moore had performed hundreds of acceptance tests between them and have a wealth of experience in this area. 2010 saw the birth of an asset baselining exercise for one of the large UK water companies assessing the performance of their aeration blowers.
Aeration Optimisation
Air Technology have developed a proven track record optimising aeration systems within the UK water industry. Our extensive knowledge of compressors transfers directly to the aeration blowers and the physical transfer of air to the lanes. Over the past 10years we have been involved in a large number of projects across the UK that have resulted in excellent energy savings. Nigel Goerick leads this work and is ackowledged as an expert in aeration optimisation. Working with our partners we offer a holistic service encompassing all aspects of the aeration process from compressed air generation, control, measurement, to system parameter measurement and PLC control.
Flowmetering
We have a large number of fully calibrated insertion turbine flowmeters that we can install underpressure with no disruption to your process. Measuring the actual amount of compressed air rather than assuming it from compressor power measurements allows us a greater degree of accuracy than many of our competitors.
We can install our equipment in inert gases at up to 90°C and 10barg, or 16barg using a welded socket. The flowmeters measure mass flow directly and are not effected by moisture or temperature. They are calibrated after each site visit, so we know they are accurate to ± 1%.
Compressed Air Quality Validation
As modern production standards become ever more stringent this area of our business has become more and more technical. We are however in an excellent position to deal with this through our highly trained staff - all of the senior members of the team are chartered engineers.
We have performed a huge number of validation studies at a large number of client site covering industries such as semi-conductor manufacturers, automotive paintshops, and pharmaceuticals. We routinely measure moisture, hydrocarbons, and particulate burden to ISO8573:2010 and out clients often turn to us for advice in this area.
Problem Solving
Air Technology comes into its own in the area of site problem solving - This is the culmination of our discrete areas of expertise. We will use all of the techniques at our disposal to identify the cause of problems identified by site. In many cases we will identify things that clients were aware of but assumed them to unavoidable. We have a vast wealth of experience in a wide array of industries, in all sizes of facilities and our results speak for themselves.
