2 2 AIR QUALITY SOLUTIONS AIR QUALITY SOLUTIONS CAPS, your one-stop shop of air treatment products. In the last 30 years, CAPS Australia has grown to become a leading supplier of industrial products across the country. Since 1980, CAPS has expanded operations to incorporate nine branches across Australia. That means, when you deal with CAPS, you deal with a company that understands your local conditions. CAPS is committed to providing you with the best products and superior services. In fact, one of our strengths is being able to tailor our products to meet your needs, whether you re in primary industries, oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, or infrastructure. CAPS can take on contracts of any size involving supply, installation, maintenance, or any combination of these. We will then back it up with after-sales service that delivers many years of trouble-free operation. Working in today s business environment means CAPS is ever mindful of the growing demand for energy efficiency, plus the need to reduce waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, we never compromise on reliability. When it comes to the supply, hire, and servicing of industrial equipment, there s no-one as dependable as CAPS.

3 AIR QUALITY 3 WHAT IS AIR QUALITY? What Influences Your Compressed Air Quality? Dirt, moisture and oil are everywhere. But they shouldn t be in your compressed air supply. The Results of Contaminated Compressed Air Contaminated compressed air in your system can create problems ranging from annoyance through to wreaking havoc on your equipment and your end products. It could also contribute to: Premature wearing and scoring of surfaces. Rust and corrosion in tools, piping and equipment. Damaged instruments. Spoiled paint surfaces. ISO Air Quality Classes Maintaining air quality is so important that the International Standards Organisation (ISO) developed compressed air quality classes, as defined by ISO To determine which industry classification you require, ask yourself these simple questions: Does compressed air quality affect my production process and the quality of my end products? Will poor compressed air quality decrease my productivity, and product quality standards, and increase costs? What internal and external ambient conditions affect the quality of my compressed air produced by my system? Increased scrap rate. Unsafe or unpleasant work environment. THE IMPORTANCE OF AIR QUALITY SOLID PARTICULATE WATER OIL ISO8573-1:2010 CLASS Total Oil (aerosol Maximum number of particles per m 3 Mass Concentration Vapour Pressure liquid and vapour) Liquid g/m mg/m 3 Dewpoint micron micron 1-5 micron mg/m 3 0 As specified by the equipment user or supplier and more stringent than Class 1 1 <20,000 <400 <10 - < -70 o C <400,000 <6,000 <100 - < -40 o C <90,000 <1,000 - < -20 o C <10,000 - < +3 o C <100,000 - < +7 o C <5 < +10 o C < X >10 >10 >10

4 4 REMOVING PARTICULATE & OIL CONTAMINATION Removing Particulate & Oil Contamination Contaminants Can Destroy A Compressed Air System Think of it as a mini dust storm. The particulates scattered almost invisibly throughout the ambient air become a concentrated force for damage and destruction of your air-operated tools, equipment and instruments: Systems are damaged and products are spoiled. Scoring and uneven wear patterns ruin tools and instruments. Volatile, hazardous compounds are produced. Production shuts down, productivity and quality suffer. Dual Filters Eliminate Dirt And Problems Eliminating the sandblast effect of particulates in your compressed air stream gets rid of: Premature wear. Scored surfaces. Clogged orifices. Ruined finishes and instruments. Oil In Compressed Air Affects Your Work Environment Oil, unburned hydrocarbons and compressor coolant become highly concentrated during compression. These contaminants enter the air flow as entrained droplets and will pass through the compressed air system into the production process unless they are removed. The built-in air/oil separator on all rotary screw air compressors will remove a portion of the oil, but this is not sufficient for most applications. Oil contamination will cause batch spoilage, poor quality in finished goods, unwanted colouring in finished goods and a messy or hazardous work environment. Proper Filtration Removes Unwanted Oil Removing oil from compressed air streams offer several benefits: Longer air tool life. Ensures a high quality of finished goods. No unwanted odours. A safer workplace.

5 Removing Moisture 5 Removing Moisture Non Refrigeration Technology Processes that require ultra-dry air (ISO Class 1, 2 or 3) will need an advanced solution using non-refrigerated dryer technology. Our range includes the following dryer technologies: Membrane. Small capacity heatless desiccant. Standard capacity heatless desiccant. Heated desiccant. Blower / zero purge. Heat of compression. Removing Moisture Refrigeration Technology When a constant relative humidity (ISO Class 4 or 5) is maintained, your air system s performance will be consistent and reliable. Why is relative humidity important? Moisture contamination has the following effects: Rust and corrosion in the air system piping. Inadequate air tool lubrication. Damage to labelling, packaging and the finished goods. Productivity losses throughout your operation.

6 6 ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS & HIRE ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS A unique project demands a unique solution. Our industry experience, state-of-the-art facilities, and world-class trade professionals deliver what you need, when you need it. In reality, no two projects are exactly the same. There is often something that makes an off-theshelf solution less than ideal. Using our considerable knowledge and 30 years of experience, CAPS is able to design and manufacture solutions to meet your unique requirements. Our engineering facility in Perth is quality assured to AS/NZS ISO 9001:2008 standards. HIRE CAPS can provide you with the best compressed air, gas, power generation, and associated equipment, even if you prefer to hire rather than buy. Hiring equipment from CAPS may be a better and more economical alternative for your organisation. If so, we can certainly create a package of products, services, and rates to suit your needs. We can even offer you a hire-buy option, should you want to purchase the equipment at any point.

7 ANCILLARIES ITEMS FOR AIR TREATMENT 7 Ancillaries for Air Treatment There are many ancillary items and technologies that can help you supply and monitor the quality of compressed air to your special needs. CAPS have a full range of ancillaries and monitoring devices: Moisture separator. Air or water cooled aftercooler. Air receivers both standard and customer built. Auto drain pneumatic operated, timer operated, zero loss and float type. Air receiver kit pressure gauge / pressure relief valves (standard and certified) / drain connection kits to suit different drain types. Oil / water separator. Dew point and oil vapour monitoring system. Intake air quality test. Compressed air quality system audits.
