Compressed air is used in multiple industries and process applications,
from heavy industries like petrochemical plants, manufacturing, steel
mills and oil refineries to industries as diverse as food and beverage,
agriculture, health care, pharmaceuticals and electronics.
100% oil-free air provides a vital support component for these
industries’ processes to maintain a safe, clean working environment and
smooth-running, reliable operations.
“As global energy markets change, the challenges our customers face
around limiting emissions and accessing reliable utilities are becoming
ever-more complex. Aggreko’s commitment to evolve our oil-free air
compressor line ensures our customers can deliver their highest standard
performance, with the peace of mind they are running a viable solution
that includes the latest emissions reduction technology,” said Terry
Dressel, VP of Central Operations, Aggreko North America.
Aggreko offers CARB and EPA-certified Tier 4 Final (Tier 4F) diesel and
electric oil-free air compressors beginning with the 1600 cfm models.
The Tier 4F diesel engine provides a significant increase in run time,
reliability and fuel efficiency with extended service intervals. This
results in lower fuel and maintenance costs and longer uninterrupted
runtimes for customers. The electric compressor is built with totally
enclosed, fan-cooled motors allowing it to be used in a wide array of
locations, both industrial and commercial.
The new oil-free air compressors, assembled in the USA, are compliant
with the toughest emissions standards in North America, feature ISO
class 0 air out and deliver 1600cfm at air pressures to 55-150psi.
“Aggreko’s certified 100% oil-free air compressors, air drying and air
cooling equipment provide customers with the clean air needed to protect
equipment, products, and the safety and comfort of their employees,”
said Fernando Arce-Larreta, Aggreko Head of OFA.
“In industries where downtime can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
per day, customers can be assured that Aggreko will quickly deliver the
exact system they need, while minimizing and eliminating the risks
airborne oil and contaminants can cause to their valuable
revenue-generating processes,” he added,
Available for short or long-term needs, Aggreko’s 100% oil-free air
equipment is now in operation. Aggreko Remote Monitoring (ARM) is
provided on all Aggreko compressed air equipment. The units provide
operating parameters to the Remote Operations Center (ROC) where teams
of field-experienced engineers and technicians monitor compressor
performance 24/7 and are ready to respond to potential problems
immediately. Performance data, alerts and service information are
available to customers via an ARM smartphone app.
